    There's 
    a truck 
    Verse 1
    in 
    this 
    field, 

    a fire 
    in 
    the pit 

    Beer 
    in 
    the cans, 
    skoal 
    in 
    the spit 

    Some tan 
    on 
    her 
    legs, 
    breeze 
    in 
    her 
    hair 

    Out 
    in 
    the skirts 
    and 

    don't 
    in 
    the care 

    Verse 2
    There's 
    dot 
    on 
    map 
    with 

    your 
    last

    on 
    it 

    'Cause

    grew 
    up 
    on

    piece 
    of 
    heaven, 

    you 
    got

    the wild 
    in 
    your

    'Til 
    the night 
    you 
    forever 
    walks 

    through 
    that 
    door 

    'Cause 
    the 
    pretty 
    girl's 
    gonna 

    put 
    the settle

    the take 
    in 
    your 
    chance, 

    the song 
    in 
    your 
    cab 

    The beat 
    in 
    your 
    heart, 

    the slow 
    in 
    your 
    dance 

    When 
    it 
    comes 
    to 
    have 
    no 
    doubts, 

    she's 
    your 
    better 

    She's 
    the yes 
    when 
    you 
    ask 

    for 
    one- 
    knee 
    forever 

    On 
    a dot

    your 

    last

    be 
    your swing 
    on 
    the 

    porch 
    when 
    the day 
    is 
    done 

    'Til 
    there's 
    no 
    more 
    sets 
    in 
    the sun 

    Verse 9
    And 
    there's 
    a stone 
    in 
    the field 

    with 
    your 
    last 
    name 
    on 
    it 

    With 
    you 
    and 
    your 
    Granddaddy 

    lookin' 
    down 
    on 
    it 

    From 
    little 
    piece 
    of

    Waitin' 
    on 
    that

    You're lookin' 
    down,

    down 

    And 
    roots

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
