[Verse 1: Carson McKee]
C F
I wasn't ready for New York Town
G
Wrinkled suit in the underground
Am C F
Doe-eyed boy with his head hung down
C
I wasn't ready for New York Town
[Verse 2: Carson McKee]
C F
I wasn't built for no assembly line
G
Stare at a screen and clock my time
Am F
It's a temple full of money, no God in sight
C
I wasn't built for no assembly line
[Chorus 1: Carson McKee & Josh Turner]
F C
Well, workin' and a-pickin' and a-singin' ain't gotten me far yet
G C
I ain't left this bar yet and it's quarter to two
F C
And I'm wondering if I ever should've even left Charlotte
D G
Don't matter how far I get or what I do
[Verse 3: Carson McKee]
C
And I don't believe in no dating scene
G
See which girls will swipe on me
Am F
And lie about what I like on TV
C
I don't believe in no dating scene
[Verse 4: Carson McKee]

I wasn't raised on no fair-weather friends

Who disappear till we dance again

Then whiskey till we got the bends
