[Verse 1]
              E
If I could never age a day past senior year
                A
I'd still be burnin' up fuel in that rear view mirror
        E                                  A
Yelling to my buddies, "Hey man, no cop, no stop"

You know that's right
          E
We was crankin' up the dial jammin' Rocky Top
        A
Hidin' all our pot in our truck toolbox
            E                                           A
Saying, "Bubba I think we're good, they ain't gonna check there"

But if they do
             E
But if the blue lights come I'll be steppin' on the gas
         A
Feelin' like Earnhardt goin' Talladega fast
        E
With my heart a racin' like it's lookin' for a checkered flag
N.C.
But all you're gonna catch is


[Chorus]
   E
Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane
  A                                           E
Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on
               A
In John Deere green (John Deere green)
            E
When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow
           A
And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road
        E            A
That's what I call home (I call home)
                           E       A
Just livin' in a country song

Just livin' in a country song


[Verse 2]
E
Rusty old trucks from the senior class
               A
With ripped American flags wavin' in the back
           E                                          A
With an exhaust so loud that it will shake my whole town

(Oh yeah it would)
         E
With the CD skippin' 'cause we done burnt it up
         A
Jammin' flyin' down a back road while we was on the road
          E                                   A
Leavin' black marks somewhere in small town USA (USA)
         E
It was "Hey baby girl, do you need my Carhartt?
             A
Yeah it's gettin' kinda cold I'm trying to break your heart"
        E
In a square body Chevy painted up like the General Lee
 N.C
So we can let the cops see


[Chorus]
 E
Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane
         A                                   E
Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on
                A
In John Deere green (John Deere green)
           E
When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow
            A
And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road
         E             A
That's what I call home (I call home)
                           E       A
Just livin' in a country song

Just livin' in a country song


[Verse 3]
  E
Billy Bob loved Charlene and I used to love just runnin' roads
       A
The smell of freedom on two bare feet with a mix dried up cedar logs
   E
Mama knew I was creek bound, south side Cheatham river rat
       A
With hair too long and big old letters that read backwoods across my back
    E
Sunburnt to a red crisp, skin peelin' like every week
     A
Sneakin' outta my bedroom window, man we thought we super slick
     E
Smokin' Paw Paw's Black & Milds, drenched in A&F Cologne
   A
Tryin' to cover up that weekend smell from all that marijuana smoke
  E
Mama tried, Jesus watched, God laughed and Satan helped
       A
What you expect? I grew up in a house that bumped the Charlie Daniels Band
     E
So if you catch me in Georgia I got the golden fiddle
          A                        N.C
And I'm chasin' the dream and outrunnin' that old devil with


[Chorus]
 E
Dusty taillights fadin' off in a one-lane
          A                                   E
Water colored sky, water tower spray painted on
                A
In John Deere green (John Deere green)
            E
When the Friday night lights make your hometown glow
           A
And that smoke in the sky from a field down the road
         E            A
That's what I call home (I call home)
                          E        A
Just livin' in a country song
                           E
Just livin' in a country song
