Em C G D
(Same as above)
Walkin down Browns mountain tryin to find my way around
I hope I dont get stopped by the cops in this here town
Head on to the south side and the cemetary trails
A worn out fishin hole where I raised a lot of hell

Bridge
Em C
There's a girl that lives on my street
Em D
Strawberry blonde, she tastes so sweet
Em C
I wanna tell her all the words in my heart
Em D
She moved away then she tore my world apart
(Chorus)
Fifteen minutes south of the Fort Worth city lights
We watch football games here on Friday nights
I grew up slow and now I'm living so fast
Running out of liquor and this quarter bag won't last
(Chorus 2x)
