[Verse 1]

      E              E             A
Papaw was a painter, daddy was the same
A      E        E                          E             A
Fought roosters on the weekend to keep the farm from the state
A    E     E                  E                   A
Them bills got higher, diesel climbed through the roof
A    E          E                    E                E
Them numbers on them work trucks got disconnected tooooooo

[Verse 2]

A      E        E              E
Just a poor boy on a farm, foreclosed on my roots
A   E         E                E        A        A
Dip stains in my Wranglers and holes in my boots
    E    E             E          A
Clueless to the world, fearful of no man
A        E         E                E           A
Raised a animal of my own, my teeth blood stain red

[Chorus]

A     E     E    E
I'm alive
                   A        A      E   E
There's a, there's a animal inside
E         A   A   E    E   E   E
I'ma from another time
               A     A      E      E
That's why you never see me smile
           E             A
There's an animal insiiiide

[Verse 3]

E     E            E     A
I'm a nobody, only bones and flesh
A      E      E                    E               A
Just a feller with a last name the government made me have
A         E         E                 E                      A
But these feet have ran trails, these hands have touched the soil
A         E            E                 E
So when I get to where I'm goin' my last name will be worth gold

[Chorus]

E         E   E   E
I'm alive
           A      A  E     E
There's an animal in side
E         A    A       E      E
I'm from, from another time
E              A         A  E     E    E
That's why you never see me smile
           A      E      E    E   E   E
There's an animal inside
