[Intro]
G C Em7 C
[Verse 1]
D G
Thank God he don't charge to look at the stars
C
So, we built fires 'stead of going to bars
Em7
The pallets we stole from the back of Walmart
C D
Lit up every acre of Will's cotton farm
G
We spent every summer out in the heat
C
Cutting that grass and cutting our teeth
Em7 C
'Cause life ain't easy, it sure ain't cheap, but if you asked eighteen me
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did
G
Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb
C
Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win
Em7 D
We didn't have much, but we had it all back when
C G C
We were just a bunch of red dirt rich kids
[Verse 2]
D G
Worked hard like our daddies
G
Try to make 'em proud
C
'Cause our last name wasn't all they handed down
Em7
Like the trucks we drove, laps around town
C
Till the tank ran dry, or the sun came out
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did

Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb

Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win

Yeah, some of us got out, some of us stuck around

Some are blue collar and some ain't now
F C
But damn, looking back, yeah, life was better somehow
[Chorus]
G
When gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did
G
Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb

Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win
