A                       D
     I had to leave the country
A                                D
Though there was some nice folk there
A                              D
And now I don't know where I'm going
A                                 D
All I know is I'll hit the ground running

A   D   A   D

A                               D
Bony cowboys and southern gentlemen
A                           D
Betting women that'll never bend
A                             D
They ride the roads 'til they bend
A                        D
'Til they bend, to their dead ends

A                 D
I was raised in a pit of snakes
A                      D
Blink your eyes, I was raised on cake
A                         D
I couldn't memorize a century of slang
A                      D
Or tell the same story again and again and again

A                    D
Bitterness ---- is a low of sin
A                    D
Bitter man rots from within
A                    D
I've seen his smile, yellow and brown
A                   D
Bitterness ---- has brought him down

D                A
Hit the ground running
                D
Hit the ground running
                A
Hit the ground running
