VERSE:
          C
A little two lane a little map dot
          F                    C
A little spray paint a little bird shot
                            G
Just down, down, down that road

           C
There's a first beer and a first kiss
          F                 C
Where my first truck hit a first ditch
                         G
Where boys like me call home


PD-C HORUS:
 Am
Times like these you line em up
     F
And damn yourself for growing up
     C                               G
And finding out what's on the other side


CHORUS:
         C
Take me back
         C
Take me back
          F              C
Back when we were river kids
     F             C               G
And didn't have a care in this ol world

         C
Take me back
         C
Take me back
      F                   C
Underneath that big sky bridge
      F                  C
When love and life were simple
          G              C
Back when we were river kids

 C              F   C
Wohhh, woh woh woh woh
 F    C           G
Wohh woh woh woh woh


VERSE:
         C
I turned 18 said I had enough
         F                   C
Threw a middle finger and a lot of dust
                         G
And I left this nowhere town

     C
Now sun sets on concrete
        F               C
And it don't feel like home to me
               Am       G
This life just got too loud
