[Intro]

G  Cadd2   G  Cadd2


[Verse 1]

G                                          Cadd2
Where’d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
              G                             Cadd2
He’s still crawdad fishin’ at the waterin’ hole
            G                      Cadd2
I must’ve turned eighteen and drove away
           G                         Cadd2
After all these years I’m finding my way


[Chorus]

     G                             
Oh, back to climbin’ up that old oak tree
 Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
  G
Back to a simpler state of mind, 
    Cadd2
An easier life, Lord an easier time
G
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly, 
Cadd2
A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
G                     Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
            G                    Cadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
        G                      Cadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free


[Verse 2]

G                           Cadd2
How the hell did we wind up here, 
       G                  Cadd2
Self-medicated in a lazy chair?
   G                              Cadd2
All set for dying, locked in our homes, 
   G                                  Cadd2
Nobody’s talking but we’re all on the phone


[Chorus]

 G
Back to climbin’ up that old oak tree
Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
G
Back to a simpler state of mind, 
Cadd2
an easier life lord an easier time
G                                        
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly, 
Cadd2
A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
G                    Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
             G                   Cadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
        G                      Cadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free


[Instrumental]

G Cadd2 *2x


[Bridge]

G                              
Rope swing;   main street;   pregnancy scare
Cadd2
Fast lane;   insane;   driving impaired
G
Empty pockets; sweet lover’s lane; 
Cadd2
The county is dry so let it rain
G
Short fuse;   good news,   plants were tall
Cadd2
A negative Tess, that old Johnny law
G                           Cadd2
We had nothing, we had it all
         G                    Cadd2
We were free, like we used to be
         G                   Cadd2     G Cadd2  G  Cadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free


[Outro]

G                                          Cadd2
Where’d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
                  G                             Cadd2
He’s still rawdad fishin’ at the waterin’ hole
