Biografía:
If Riley Green isn’t strumming a six-string and singing, chances are you’ll find him dropping a line in the Ohatchee River, deep sea fishing in Orange Beach, AL, turkey hunting at his primitive camp in Arkansas, or deer hunting at his ‘Back 40 Bash’ property. For this 6’4, blue-eyed, country crooner from Jacksonville, AL it’s not just a “Country State of Mind” - it’s a lifestyle.
Riley has achieved an incredible amount of success for someone doing it all on their own.

I made this tab to help myself learn this song, and since I am a beginner this song is probably off. I read
the chords from a live video of Riley playing. Feel free to correct this tab or add to it.

Capo 2
[Intro]
Bm A G
[Verse]
Bm A G
Slipped out of town without a handshake or goodbye just this old guitar I had stars in my eyes
Bm A G
I was playing bars I was meeting girls I wasn't livin right but I was staying high every night
G
underneath the glow of the neon lights
Bm A G
one morning I woke up with bottles as far as I could see when I closed my eyes and I drifted
N.C.
back to sleep I saw
[Chorus]
D A G D A G
the way momma looked at me even though I know I had to be hell to raise man I raised some hell
D A G D A G
heard daddy say son 'get your lazy ass up' there aint no sense in sleeping all day
Bm A G Bm A G
I thought about my folks back home and how they cared about me so made me wanna set this bottle down...
Almost
[Interlude]
D G
[Verse]
Bm A G
Through the haze of a smokey old saloon saw a girl cutting me a grin from across the room
G
and I swear she had wings
Bm A
she loved to hear me play guitar and I loved to watch her dance
G
and I loved to hear her sing
Bm A
one night she layed down the law told me that I had to make a choice
G N.C.
when I closed my eyes and I listened to her voice I saw
[Chorus]
D A G D
The first time we held hands
A G
I saw the first time that we danced
D A G
I saw that one night on the creek
D A G
and that night you snuck out of your dorm and met me down on Mountain Street
Bm A G Bm
I thought about that summer we spent down on the coast
A G N.C.
made me wanna set this bottle down... Almost
[Interlude]
D G
[Verse]
Bm A
One last time I found myself down and out
G
I was just outside of Birmingham in some no-name town
Bm A
I couldnt recall the night before when I drank myself to sleep
G
so I threw on this old ball cap and stumbled out into the street
Bm A
too many nights the same ol' same I got lost in this damn crowd
G N.C.
but when I packed up my guitar case I took one last look around and I saw...
[Chorus]
D A G
That old bar where I kept my first truck
D A G
and I walked my bird dog Bo past the pond where we killed our first duck
D A G
I saw grandpa's garden and I could still see them pretty vines
D A G
though its been some time since I've held a muscadine
D A G
I thought about how grandma's house still smells the same
D A G
even though its been a few years now since I've seen her face
Bm A G
.....so I raised my glass up for one last toast
Bm A G
.....and finally set this bottle down... Almost
[Outro]
D G
