Capo 1
Intro
C Em Bm
C Em D
verse 1
C Em
We didn't have no downtown strip
D Bm
We'd all pile in and take a 2 mile trip
C
To where the road runs out
Em D
Sit there and sip on whatever anybody's older brother could get
C Em
Where we worked in the dirt and fell in love
D Bm
Got my heart broke, broke down my truck
C Em D
Trying to spin out, show off in that mud too many times
Pre-Chorus
C Em
So much has changed
D
But then again, it ain't
[Refrão]
C G
Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows
D Em
We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows
C G D
Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night
C G
Just some old plowboys pretending we're cowboys
D Em
We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys
C G D
Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go
C Em Bm
Just like the scarecrows
verse 2
C Em D
I don't get back near enough and just like these fields
Bm
Yeah, we all grow up
C Em D
And it takes a little more than a paper cup to get dizzy
C Em
This hundred acre stretch is buried in my bones
D Bm
Don't matter how long that I've been gone
C Em
I can be anywhere and some song comes on
D
And it's like I never left home
[Refrão]
C G
Just like the scarecrows, even when the wind blows
D Em
We keep our boots and our roots in these cornrows
C G D
Where we threw down and we passed it around every Friday night
C G
Just some old plowboys pretending we're cowboys
D Em
We came from nothing, oh, but look at us now, boys
C G D
Even when we leave here, we'll always be here, wherever we go
