Intro: G Cadd2 G Cadd2
verse 1
G Cadd2
Where’d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
G Cadd2
He’s still crawdad fishin’ at the waterin’ hole
G Cadd2
I must’ve turned eighteen and drove away
G Cadd2
After all these years I’m finding my way
[Refrão] G
Oh, back to climbin’ up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
G
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
An easier life, Lord an easier time
G
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly,
Cadd2
A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
G Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
G Cadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
G Cadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free
verse 2
G Cadd2
How the hell did we wind up here,
G Cadd2
Self-medicated in a lazy chair?
G Cadd2
All set for dying, locked in our homes,
G Cadd2
Nobody’s talking but we’re all on the phone
[Refrão] G
Back to climbin’ up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
G
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
an easier life lord an easier time
G
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly,
Cadd2
A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
G Cadd2
Back to real, back to me
G Cadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
G Cadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free

The count is right so let it rain

Short fuse; good news, plants were tall
Cadd2
A negative Tess, that old Johnny law

We had nothing, we had it all

We were free, like we used to be
