C Everyone seems a damn genius lately Tik-tok talking, late-night TV Am G C Still so much I have yet to know C We get dressed up just to go downtown In some ego-filled late night crowd Am G C It seems to be where I feel most alone C I'd like to get lost on some old back road Find a shade tree and a honey hole Am G C And talk to my grandpa again C And I see God in everything The trees and pain and nights in the spring Am G C So why do I still long for a home? C I'd like to lay in a field on a cozy blanket And feel the fear of never wakin' Am G C To know the true warmth of the sun C I'd like to love my lady long and hard And lay down lines of laymen guitar Am G C Never leave her loving arms again C My exes hate me and my friends all miss me I wanna drown in a rot gut whiskey Am G C Leave this small town for awhile C Heading to Paris on a late-night flight Find a bar and get in a fight Am G C Write a few poems on a sunny balcony C I wanna be a child climbing trees somewhere Breathing in the fresh outside air Am G C And before I knew this life was unkind C I want a well-trained dog on a couple of acres A kind, kind lady and a place to take her Am G C Few good friends I can count on one of my hands C I know I'm bound to die one day So when I reach those golden gates Am G C I pray to say I did the best I can C Sit with my mother and the dearly departed Send a prayer down to the broken-hearted Am G C Let 'em know it all turns out just fine C To know me is to love me and to hate me is to wrong me I prefer my nights so lonely Am G C Love blues guitar, muscle cars, and gin C I'm a simple man, I don't need much Just my simple songs and some human touch Am G C I'm tired now, so I'm bringin' my ass home Am F C So let me go down the line G Let me feel it all Am Joy, pain, and sky Am F C So let me go down the line G Am We all burn, burn, burn and die Am F C So let me go down the line G Let me feel it all Am Joy, pain, and sky Am F C So let me go down the line G Am We all burn, burn, burn and die Am F C So let me go down the line G Let me feel it all Am Joy, pain, and sky Am F C So let me go down the line G Am We all burn, burn, burn and die
