Holdin It Down

[Intro ]
Em G C   Em G C 


 
Em                      G 
There's still only four digits in our population 
C 
We're still keepin' things just the way God made it 
Em                               G 
There's been some old city folks tryna come in to change it 
C 
Wouldn't trade them square forty fields for one inch of pavement 
Em                    G 
We're still hollerin' up in them hills 
  C 
A reckon that we always will 
 

 
            Em                       G                   C 
We're still keepin' them parking lot half-ton circled on up 
                                              Em 
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup 
                      G 
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did 
C 
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets 
Em                        G 
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town 
C                                                       Em  G C 
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down 
 

 
Em                         G 
There's still thirty-fives rollin' down the blacktop 
C 
Still ridin' 'round this little bitty map dot 
Em                          G 
And you can finally set the corner for a case of 'em 
C 
'Cause nothin' changed from the days when we knew nothin' but 
 

 
Em                       G                   C 
Keepin' them parking lot half-ton circled on up 
                                              Em 
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup 
                      G 
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did 
C 
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets 
Em                        G 
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town 
C                                                       Em 
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down

So keep holdin' it down 
                                 G 
'Cause you're proud of where you came from 
           C 
Holdin' it down, it's the way that you were raised up 
 

 
Em                       G                   C 
Keepin' them parking lot half-ton circled on up 
                                              Em 
Still lightin' that fire with a diesel filled cup 
                      G 
Like my daddy done it and had his daddy did 
C 
Still thinkin' this way of livin's gettin' as good as it gets 
Em                        G 
If you ever thought about never leavin' your little town 
C                                                       Em  G C 
Keepin' them roots in the ground, well, keep holdin' it down
