I grew   up wild and I grew up true

Ebm7

Come and find me down

where the tree line ends

And the cattails grow

Ebm7

We can be free livin' our dreams out

Singin' to the radio

Chorus 1
Ebm7 
Gb 
I was raised on a little patch of Heaven
Db 
Wheat fields and old dirt roads
Ebm7

Where the tin    roof sings the whole damn thing
Db 
Shakes when the cold wind blows
Ebm7 
Gb 
Well, it ain't  all sunshines and rainbows
Db 
Hard times we all know
Ebm7 
But I'd go back   in a minute

to the land of the wicked

Wheat fields and old dirt roads (Hey!)

Gb 
Spent  some time in a corner bar
Db 
Playin' for keeps with this old guitar
Ebm7 
And it was worth  every minute
Gb 
Db 
when I heard those people sing
Ebm7 
Gb 
It's a long   road home and now I see
Db 
What them old times meant to me
Ebm7

So when I      get back, crack a bottle of Jack
Db 
You know where I'll be
