C Am G C
Run to the hollow by the old trash pile
C Am G B C
Pig farm's closed the kids are still hog wild
C Am G C
Run to the river by the jumping bridge
C Am G B C
I play my blues for the small town kid
C Am G C
I cut the thistle like I've always done
C Am G B C
I jump back down and then I jump back on
C Am G C
I hooked the chain and I hooked it well
C Am G B C
Pull all them trees and all the roots to hell

And we'll drink muddy water
Am B C C#
Cause we know it only makes us stronger

I don't give a dang if you do or
G
You don't no longer
