A [C]cement building white cinder[Am]cinderblocks

When my [F]world was crumbling my grandpa [G]gave me his hand
Chorus 1
It was [C]crickets, minnows and kerosene
[Am]RC, moon pies and a softball team
[F]Learned about life Learned about girls
[G]Learned about livin' in this cold, cruel world
It's where you [C]bought your tag for your white-tailed deer
Where the [Am]southern baptist bought the most beer
A [F]hole in the wall with holes in the wall
From [G]behind this counter you saw it all
At the[F]the Cold Spot [G]
Verse 2
It was [C]cool in July, warm in Dec[Am]December
If I [F]live a hundred years I'll always reme[G]remember
The [C]song and the hum of that old ceiling fan
And this [Am]North Georgia voice saying, "Buddy, you can"
Out [F]here I'm just a kid trying to make a name
I [G]am who I am because he raised Kane selling
Chorus 2
Selling [C]crickets, minnows and kerosene
[Am]RC, moon pies and a softball team
[F]Learned about life Learned about girls
[G]Learned about livin' in this cold, cruel world
It's where you [C]bought your tag for your white-tailed deer
Where the [Am]southern baptist bought the most beer
A [F]hole in the wall with holes in the wall
From [G]behind this counter you saw it all
At the[F]the Cold Spot oh [G]yeah
At the [C]Cold Spot

And the [Am]big stores came and the business failed
