Well, up in small town New England
C
There just ain't much for one to do
'Cept to stare out into the deep woods
D G
Pack a fat one, smoke it through
[Verse 1]
G
Well, I was born out in Pawtucket
C
Moved to Warwick when I was young
G
Well, my old man and my mama
D G
They broke it off 'fore my life begun
Daddy moved out to ol' CT
C
Just a ways east from the big river
G
Found a new wife, settled down there
D G
Where he raised me and my sister
[Chorus]
G
Well, up in small town New England
C
There just ain't much for one to do
'Cept to stare out into the deep woods
D G
Pack a fat one, smoke it through
[Verse 2]
I was eighteen and I was tired
C
The folks around me, they never changed
So, I moved down to Music City
D G
Thinkin' one day I'd play a stage
Now I've been here for a few years
C
But to this day, I still miss
G
All the good times smokin' pot out
D G
By the creek side with my friends
[Chorus]
G
Well, up in small town New England
C
There just ain't much for one to do
'Cept to stare out into the deep woods
D G
Pack a fat one, smoke it through
