[Verse 1]
D
Was born in hay, 2000 8,
C
A country life it was my fate.
G
My father left me his dear truck,
D
And a tractor that was covered in muck.
[Verse 2]
D
I worked the land since I was nine,
C
No battle stronger than that with time.
G
The grass is green and the world, fine
D
For a man: young, strong, in his prime
[Chorus]
D
Riding round the country,
C
Singing country songs.
G
Sometimes I stop the roam,
D
But I keep moving on.
D
From county to county,
C
From pole to pole,
G
Singin’ these country songs makes
D
Home-bound, my soul.
[Verse 3]
D
I sold my land, on my father’s wish,
C
And moved around, made myself rich
G
by being someone people liked to
D
hear
[Verse 4]
D
I’d play in pubs, inns, anywhere!
C
Some places with quite a flair,
G
But nothing quite compared to the
D
stages of my home.
[Chorus]
D
Riding round the country,
C
Singing country songs.
G
Sometimes I stop the roam,
D
But I keep moving on.
D
From county to county,
C
From pole to pole.
G
Singin’ these country songs makes
D
Home-bound, my soul.
[Verse 5]
D
My hat sits comfy on my head
C
And it shall till the day I’m dead
G
But my horse, she is a tired gal,
D
So I leave her to you my pal.
[Verse 6]
D
I’m moving on, deep in the sky,
C
Round and round and round, I’ll fly.
G
But Even if my heart don’t beat,
D
I’ll love you ever more.
