Around Down Here

        E 
If you don't know the smell of a fresh-cut hayfield 
                                                A 
How to lock the hubs on a Ford into four-wheel drive 

When you hit the mud 

Man let me tell you what 
             E 
If you don't know the name of the man at the feed store 

The sound of a rusty-ole-screechy hinge screen door 
  A 
Slammin' in the afternoon 

Then you're probably just passing through 


                 E 
And if you don't know a thing about fishing from the bank 

Making in to Friday on half-a-tank 
  A 
Cashing that check for a forty-hour week 

Holes in the soles of the boots on your feet 
             E 
If you don't know a thing about livin' slow and easy 

Bonfire Bocephus burnt CD's 
   A 
Standin' up tall for the Stars and Stripes 

Sending up your prayers to the Lord at night 
     B 
Yea man it's perfectly clear 
                            A 
You ain't from around down here 


        E 
If you ain't ever heard a whippoorwill sing a lullaby 

On a dirt road short-cut through the country side 
 A 
Man you outta change your route 

To see what this is all about 

 
                 E 
And if you don't know a thing about fishing from the bank 

Making in to Friday on half-a-tank 
  A 
Cashing that check for a forty-hour week 

Holes in the soles of the boots on your feet 
             E 
If you don't know a thing about livin' slow and easy 

Bonfire Bocephus burnt CD's 
   A 
Standin' up tall for the Stars and Stripes 

Sending up your prayers to the Lord at night 
     B 
Yea man it's perfectly clear 
                            A 
You ain't from around down here 

Outro 
        E                                    A        E       A 
If you drive to fast you just might pass that little welcome sign 
        E                                      A       E      A 
But if you slow it on down you'll find out this little towns alright 


           E 
And if you don't know a thing about fishing from the bank 

Making in to Friday on half-a-tank 
  A 
Cashing that check for a forty-hour week

Sending up your prayers to the Lord at night 
                        B 
Yea man it's perfectly clear 

If you don't know Jim Jack and know John Deere 
                            A 
You ain't from around down here 

(Naw you ain't from around down here)
