    It 
    was 
    Verse 1

    '96 in South 
    Car
    olin
    a, 

    That's 
    the place 
    and 
    not 

    the goddamn 
    year 

    Just sit
    tin' 
    on 
    the porch 

    out 
    at Bobby's 
    place, 

    Just 
    tug
    gin' 
    on 
    a 
    lukewarm 
    beer. 

    And 
    there 
    i 
    was 
    peepin 

    like 
    an 
    old 
    sidewinder, 

    Just 
    an 
    inch 
    or so 
    above 
    the mud. 

    The first 
    to find 
    out 
    that 
    its 
    rainin' 

    is 
    the last 
    to find 
    out 
    it's 
    a flood. 

    Verse 2

    It 
    was 
    Paradise 
    Valley, 
    Nevada, 

    Not far 
    from 
    where 
    the west 
    was 
    won. 

    I 
    am 
    the only 
    black 
    face 
    in 

    the 
    whole 
    damn 
    place 

    Just 
    a raisin 
    in 
    the blazing 
    sun. 

    And 
    there 
    i 
    am 
    like 
    that 
    old 
    sidewinder, 

    Just 
    wish
    in' 
    that 
    her 

    eggs 
    ain't 
    hatched. 

    And 
    the chain 
    i 
    wear 
    has 
    'em 
    wishin' 
    for 
    the 

    day 
    when 
    it 
    came 
    with 
    a ball 
    attached. 

    Verse 3

    So 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    move 

    right 
    outta 
    this 
    town. 

    When 
    this 
    old 
    skin 
    stops 

    weighin' 
    me 
    down. 

    This 
    old 
    skin. 

    Verse 4
    He 
    was 
    sittin' 
    in 
    the 
    very 
    same 
    spot 
    that 

    Otis 
    sat 
    to 
    watch 
    the dock 
    of 
    the 
    bay 

    In 
    the very 
    same 
    spot 
    that 

    the ships 
    rolled 
    in. 

    Now 
    there's 
    nothing 
    but 

    the mud 
    and 
    the clay. 

    Verse 5
    I'm 
    gonna 
    move 

    right 
    outta 
    this 
    town. 

    This 
    old 
    skin, 

    it's 
    weighin' 
    me 
    down. 

    This 
    old 
    skin. 

    Verse 6

    Out
    side 
    Orlando 
    when 
    the sunshine 
    state 

    Has 
    just 
    upped 
    itself 
    another 
    degree. 

    I am 
    the very 
    last 
    orange 
    of 

    the 
    whole 
    years 
    crop. 

    Hangin' 
    dearly 
    to 
    the branch 

    of 
    the tree. 

    And 
    the wind 
    and 
    the spring 

    couldn't 
    do 
    anything. 

    So 
    im 
    burnin' 
    in 
    the sun 

    of 
    the south. 

    That 
    old 
    sidewinder 
    in 
    the dust 
    below, 

    I'm 
    just 
    waiting 
    till 
    it 
    opens 
    its 
    mouth. 

    Verse 7

    So 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    move 

    right 
    outta 
    this 
    town 

    When 
    this 
    old 
    skin 
    finally 

    touches 
    the ground. 

    this 
    old 
    skin 

    Verse 8
    He 
    was sit
    tin' 
    in 
    the very 

    same 
    spot 
    that 

    Otis 
    sat 
    to 
    watch 
    the dock 

    of 
    the bay 

    In the 
    very 
    same 
    spot 
    that 

    the ships 
    rolled 
    in. 

    Now 
    there's 
    nothing 
    but 

    the mud 
    and 
    the clay. 

    Verse 9
    Now 
    I'm 
    gonna 
    move 

    right 
    outta 
    this 
    town 

    When 
    this 
    old 
    skin 
    finally 

    touches 
    the ground. 

    This 
    old 
    skin 

    This 
    old 
    skin

      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

      Tuliketsune

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
