[Chorus]
Bb Eb Bb         F           
■  ■  ■  Take me back to them
Gm                                 
Cotton fields and barb wired fences
Eb                             
All the things that I'm missin'
Bb                               
Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
F                           
Hit the river and take a dip
            Gm                        
And I don't know why I wanted to leave
Eb                                
Something that means so much to me
  Bb                                F  
I guess it's what it took for me to see
Gm                              Eb           Bb  
No matter where I roam the only place I call home
F         Gm     
Is in the country


[Verse]
           Gm         
Way out in the country
Eb                                      
Huntin' fishin' that's just how we lived
   Bb                              
In homes valley back to my beginin'
Bb                        
Learn the skill of skinin'
Gm                       Eb    
Scufflin' by filled with thorns
                   Bb  
We was hidin' in a farm
                            F                      
Pond filled with snakes and gators we was divin' in
Gm                            
Ain't nothin' to a country boy
Eb                                    
Only fear the good Lord and a mama boy
Bb                               
Drive big trucks like a Tonka toy
              F                                  
You know them country girls to love a country boy
Gm                                     
We can get litty on outside of the city
Eb                                                       
Dance in front of the lights on an Ftwo hundred and fifty
Bb                                 
Windows down crankin' Conway Twitty
F                     
Takin' me back to them


[Chorus]
Gm                                 
Cotton fields and barb wired fences
Eb                             
All the things that I'm missin'
Bb                               
Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
F                           
Hit the river and take a dip
      Gm                              
And I don't know why I wanted to leave
Eb                                
Something that means so much to me
  Bb                                F  
I guess it's what it took for me to see
Gm                              Eb               
No matter where I roam the only place I call home
          Bb     
Is in the country
F                        Gm        
■ Let me get the picture real quick


[Verse]
Eb                            
So maybe y'all will understand
Bb                                 
Where I grew up on that family land
                          F      
Papa passed it down to my old man
Gm                       
Now that's where he rocks
Cm       Eb                       
Back and forth on that front porch
Bb                         
Hoo owl off in the distance
Bb                              
Moonlight bright as a tiki torch
Gm                           
Bonfires and some stinky weed
Eb                         
Moonshine and old oak trees
Bb                           
Fish jumpin' up out the creek
Bb                           
Honey suckles and bumble bees
Gm              
This is my place
Eb             
This is my home
                    Bb                        
No matter I go take me take me take me take me
        Eb   Gm     
Take me back to them


[Chorus]
Gm                                 
Cotton fields and barb wired fences
Eb                             
All the things that I'm missin'
Bb                               
Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
F                           
Hit the river and take a dip
      Gm                              
And I don't know why I wanted to leave
Eb                                
Something that means so much to me
  Bb                                F  
I guess it's what it took for me to see
Gm                              Eb           Bb  
No matter where I roam the only place I call home
F         Gm     
Is in the country


[Bridge]
      Gm                           
Y'all know 'bout where I was raised
Eb                                 
Where we pay respects and say grace
    Bb                                     
The name chiseled on local tombs and graves
      Bb                                
Jones County the place where I was saved
  Gm                                      
A book of sentences I've written for miles
Eb                                
Like scripture since I was a child
Bb                           
Pops laid block but for hours
         F                                  
A strong foundation to stand up on and climb
Gm                                      
Each breath taken I could feel the light
            Eb                                
Shinin' the songs I sing way back in the pines
    Bb                                   
The memories made always outlast the pain
F                                     
The hourglass drains I count the grain
Gm                               
Lookin' back now I stop and think
         Eb                        
How long it'll last gone in a blink
  Bb           
A kid raised up
     Bb                 
Just swim and never sink
             F      
Lord take me take me
F                   
Take me back to them


[Chorus]
Gm                                 
Cotton fields and barb wired fences
Eb                             
All the things that I'm missin'
Bb                               
Dirt ridin' and nighttime fishin'
F                           
Hit the river and take a dip
            Gm                        
And I don't know why I wanted to leave
Eb                                
Something that means so much to me
  Bb                                F  
I guess it's what it took for me to see
Gm                              Eb           Bb  
No matter where I roam the only place I call home
F         N.C.   
Is in the country
