Intro
Dm C Bb C .
Verse
FBovine hide and bloodshot eyes
5 o'clock comes early in the summertime
Bb4 by 4s, wearin' 505s
Sweatin' out last night's silver bullets
F Spittin' seeds and the wintergreen
We were drunk or asleep, no in between
BbAnd my family tree's got a legacy
GmOf tryna get ahead but we couldn't
Sittin' here reminiscing when I shouldn't
Chorus
DmI'm a ways away
CAnd everything I ever knew ain't the same
BbStaring in the rear-view mirror
The interstate's making me bitter
But Daddy didn't raise no quitter
C DmI'm tryna make a name
CTryna ride a tornado in a paper plane
BbChasin' down something way bigger
Praying that Cumberland River
Gm Am Bb FDon't wash my Midwest ways away..
Verse
F Landlord's been on my ass
Never spent this much on a tank of gas
Bb Corn and beans shoot up real fast
GmBut dreams don't grow in Barton
Chorus
DmI'm a ways away
CAnd everything I ever knew ain't the same
BbStaring in the rear-view mirror
The interstate's making me bitter
But Daddy didn't raise no quitter
C DmI'm tryna make a name
CTryna ride a tornado in a paper plane
BbChasin' down something way bigger
Praying that Cumberland River
Gm Am Bb FDon't wash my Midwest ways away..
