1. Gave
us that hilltop place to park,

gave
us them girls that stole our hearts.

Gave us them bucks up on the
wall,
C
the
way we live, and the way we talk.
G
Gave us state that senior year,
Em
them
country stores to buy that beer,
D
a
place to go nobody knows.
When you take it in and you
take it
C G Em
slow
like that river rolls where that green grass grows.

I can't explain, oh, it's something, ain't
it ?
C G
Em
Yeah, we sure painted it up,
tore down them old two-lane roads.
D C
we either stole every sign or
left 'em in bullet holes.
G Em
It wasn't nowhere as bad as we all said that it was,
D
C
yeah, looking back at it now this
town's been too good to us.

Raised hell on the weekends, yeah,
