[Chorus]

D5         F              G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
Dm                           Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
F                       Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
F                  G
The old days, when love was real
       Dm                         Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
F             G
The old days, those days are gone
     Dm                          Dm             F    G Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call home, oh yeah

[Verse]

Dm        F                            G
There's a bridge on River Road where I painted my name
       Dm                          Dm          D
With a couple of buddies with John Deere spray paint
           F                            G
We used to smoke on the green after the sun hit the hay
            Dm                      Dm
And made it home by nine or daddy's temper would blaze
        F                                    G
In them high-school front doors, shit we was straight out the back
        Dm                                Dm
Sittin' in a deer stand chewin' Redman up by the pack
              F                        G
Them straight pipes on the 5.7 made us feel badass
        Dm                                 Dm
Sittin' in the senior parkin' lot crankin' up Johnny Cash
           F                         G
My grades, they wasn't great, but my heart is nothin' but gold
   Dm                                   Dm
Hospitality's priceless, it ain't 'bout tradin' a soul
   F                                    G
So before you judge my cover, won't you dive in my soul
              Dm                          Dm
And learn I'm from another life, I'm like 200 years old

[Chorus]

Dm         F              G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
     Dm                      Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
F                  Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
F                  G
The old days, when love was real
       Dm                         Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
F             G
The old days, those days are gone
Gm   Dm                          Dm           F      G      Dm   Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah
F        G    Dm
Oooooh yeeeeeeah

[Verse 2]

Dm     F                       G              Gm
When I show up to a show, everybody knows I'm fuckin' there
Dm                                 Dm
Walk by like I'm stuck in silence, let the folks with cameras stare
F                                   G           Gm
I'm there to put my county on, with muddy water in my veins
Dm                                  Dm
Countless nights on Indian Springs, prayin' I would catch my dream
F                                   Gm
When Paw Paw went to heaven, let me tell you, I was lost in life
Dm                                Dm                       D
Almost got fronted them pounds to help keep on my families lights
F                                    G
But then I walked to a church in the midst of the night
         Dm                          Dm
Put some tears on the tulips and the creation was bright
           F                             G
And I knew at that very moment the fight I's about to pick involved
Dm                            Dm
Cowboy boots, guitars and not givin' a shit
D         F                                    G
So let me write to the beat of my two clickin' Tony Lama's
          Dm                           D5
Live in a trailer with my family and a few saved up dollars
N.C.
Church

[Chorus]

F                         G
I miss the old days, tall Chevrolets
     Dm                      Dm
Nice tanned up legs swingin' on a tailgate
    F                   Gm
The old days, when fist fights were fine
         Dm                        Dm
Throwin' hands didn't land you two months jail time
    F              G
The old days, when love was real
       Dm
And it burned in your soul like a moonshine still
    F               Gm
The old days, those days are gone
     Dm                                       F      G      Dm
So I cherish the memories of the place I call hoooooome, oh yeah
