Capo 1st fret INTRO: AED VERSE 1: A Shotgun in my daddy's truck E Eight years old and acting tough D He smiled at me and said, "You shift the gears" A He would search that "fm" dial E And I would count down every mile D Til the station out of Tulsa came in clear F#m E It was old Thomas Conley on the radio D B7 It punched me in the gut, man, it rattled my soul CHORUS: A E D I'm talking bout a good country song Makes you smile, makes you hurt Leaves you hanging on every word A E D A good country song Makes you love, makes you leave Raise some hell or hit your knees F#m All I know is I think of home E Grab my guitar and strum along D B7 Kick on back and sip me something strong D E A When I hear a good country song VERSE 2: A While hip?hop, rap, and rock were cool E I was in my basement getting schooled D On George and Keith and Vernon Alabama A I was learning bout those neon lights E Wasted days and wasted nights D And honky?tonks from Texas to Montana F#m And when my fingers found the fret board E I close my eyes and sing D B7 I swear that beat up guitar only played one thing CHORUS: A E D I'm talking bout a good country song Makes you smile, makes you hurt Leaves you hanging on every word A E D A good country song Makes you love, makes you leave Raise some hell or hit your knees F#m All I know is I think of home E Grab my guitar and strum along D B7 Kick on back and sip me something strong D E A When I hear a good country song OUTRO: F#m Yeah, it makes me think of days long gone E Miss my dad and call my mom A B7 Run, laugh, and pray, and drink til dawn D E When I hear a good country D E A good old country D E A a good country song
