C F C G
[Verse 1]
C F
Well, it's been a long time
C G
Since I flew past that welcome sign
C F
Smelled the sweet of them pines
C G
And it's honeysuckle, belt buckle paradise
C F
Oh, that wrap-around town you thought that you owned
C G
Where you learned how to live, yeah, until you got gone
C F
And you think that you change, but you find that you don't
C G
'Cause you can't outrun what you're raised up on
[Chorus]
C/E F
You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy
C G
Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl
C/E F
Don't know a day without breaking out
C G
Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all"
C/E F
Good Lord's the first one you thank
C G
When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank
C/E F C
You might not stay, but you don't ever leave
G C/E F C G
When your down home runs deep
[Verse 2]
C F
Those Friday night lights
C G
They're shining just a little bit brighter now
C F
And that cotton ball sky
C G
Looks the same, but there's a few more looking down
C F G
And I hope that I'm making 'em proud and I'm showing 'em how
G
Yeah, I'm showing 'em how
[Chorus]
C/E F
You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy
C G
Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl
C/E F
Don't know a day without breaking out
C G
Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all"
C/E F
Good Lord's the first one you thank
C G
When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank
C/E F C
You might not stay, but you don't ever leave
G C/E F C G
When your down home runs deep
[Bridge]
C F
Well, that wrap-around town you thought that you owned
C G
Where you learned how to live, yeah, until you got gone
C F
And you think that you change, but you find that you don't
C G
'Cause you can't outrun what you're raised up on
[Chorus]
C/E F
You can't take the good out of the good ol' boy
C G
Can't fake a slow, steady, heavy drawl
C/E F
Don't know a day without breaking out
C G
Some "Hell yeah," some "Yes, ma'am," some "Hey, y'all"
C/E F
Good Lord's the first one you thank
C G
When your ride-or-die's beside you with gas in the tank
C/E F C
You might not stay, but you don't ever leave
G C/E F C
When your down home runs deep
G C/E F C G
When your down home runs deep
