[Intro]
Em7 Em7 Cadd9 G
Em7 Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
Em7
Got the hell outta Dodge, goin' forward in a Chevy
Cadd9 G
As your truck lyin' off the river
Em7
I ain't twenty-one no more, no need to mention
Cadd9 G
Any kind of beer that I may sip
Em7
No time for the strip when you're livin' these riffs
Cadd9 G
Feedin' these dogs and cuttin' these fields
Em7
Workin' like a hog, tryna pay them bills
Cadd9 G Em7
For a V-8 on gravel and a couple good years
Cadd9 G
Mmm-mmm
Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
Em7
Go to heaven if I'm good, but I'm bad to the bone
Cadd9 G
And I don't wanna change shit
Em7
Redneck rockstar at any Waffle House
Cadd9 G
Even if it is 2am
Em7
Smokin' joints out front, swappin' good times
Cadd9 G
Watchin' for the police creepin' on by
Em7
Fist bump, country boys can survive
Cadd9 G Em7 Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever-er die
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7
Yoooo-oooh-hoo
Cadd9 G Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
Cadd9 G Em7
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cadd9 G Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
Em7 Em7 Cadd9 G
Em7 Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
Em7
Go to hell if I'm mean, but I love summer heat
Cadd9 G
So it won't be that bad
Em7
Roll in in the droptop, all matte black
Cadd9 G
With flames painted on the side
Em7
We be kickin' up dust, bein' too loud
Cadd9 G
The Devil might end up gettin' kicked out
Em7
Charlie Daniels said punch you in the mouth
Cadd9 G Em7 Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7
Yoooo-oooh-hoo
Cadd9 G Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
Cadd9 G Em7
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cadd9 G
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
[Verse]
Em7
Came to earth as a Volunteer
Cadd9 G
For the spirit of the down home
Em7
You could tear me apart on my own frontier
Cadd9 G
Every piece turns like it's chrome
Em7
And there's a hole in my heart, plug it with my own hand
Cadd9 G
Take all the hate as a couple grains of sand
Em7
Now go build a castle from the tears I shed
Cadd9 (G) Em7 Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
[Chorus]
Cadd9 G Em7
Yoooo-oooh-hoo
Cadd9 G Em7
We the last of a breed that don't ever die
Cadd9 G Em7
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Cadd9 G
We the last of a breed that don't ever
(Em)
Die
