[Intro]
[C] [G] [Em7] [D]
[Verse 1]
[C]Gave us that hilltop place to [G]park
Gave us them girls that stole our [Em7]hearts
Gave us them bucks up on the [D]wall
The way we live, and the way we [C]talk
Gave us state that senior [G]year
Them country stores to buy that [Em7]beer
A place to go nobody [D]knows
[D]When you take it in and you take it
[C]Slow like that river [G]rolls
Where that green grass [Em7]grows
[Em7]I can't explain
[D]Aw it's something ain't it
[Chorus]
[C]Yeah, we sure painted it up
[G]Tore down them old two-lane roads
[Em7]We either stole every sign
[D]or left 'em in bullet holes
[C]It wasn't nowhere as bad
[G]as we all said that it was
[Em7]Yeah, looking back at it now
[D]this town's been too good to us
[C]Raised hell on the weekends yeah
[G]Man, what were we thinking when we
[Em7]said we'd leave it in a cloud of [D]dust
This town's been too good to [C]us [G] [Em] [D]
[Verse 2]
[C]Good people in a back row pew
[G]Good dirt that the corn grows through
[Em7]Good water that can wash away our sins
[D]Good times with some damn good friends
[C]Whole lot of not too much to do
[G]All the time in the world to do it
[Em]Every bit of that down home dirt was
[D]heaven on earth
And N.C.we never knew it
[Chorus]
[C]Yeah, we sure painted it up
[G]Tore down them old two-lane roads
[Em7]We either stole every sign
[D]or left 'em in bullet holes
[C]It wasn't nowhere as bad
[G]as we all said that it was
[Em7]Yeah, looking back at it now
[D]this town's been too good to us
[C]Raised hell on the weekends yeah
