[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G
We were just two kids who grew up in the city
G
We heard about those county lines and bands like nitty gritty
C G
Where the green grass grows and momma knows how to make sweet tea
G
The day I turned eighteen, you loaded up your daddy's truck
G
Said our goodbyes at 55, new orleans, here we come
C G
Open road, next thing you know, we're in Tennessee
D
And we never felt so free
 
[Chorus]
C
Mile after mile
C
Young and wild
G
We turned left and it felt so right
D
We went south somewhere
C
We'd hit the gas
C
Throw a dart at the map
G
When I close my eyes, boy I swear
D
It's like I'm right back there
Am C
But I haven't seen you in years
D G
Since we went south somewhere
 
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah, do you think of me when you see an Alabama sky?
G
Does the men in black take you back to those jackson nights
C
When you're standing on the coast, are you holding me close?
D
'cause the good Lord knows, I wish I could go
 
[Chorus]
C
Back to mile after mile
C
Young and wild
G
We turned left and it felt so right
D
We went south somewhere
C
We'd hit the gas
C
Throw a dart at the map
G
When I close my eyes, boy I swear
D
It's like I'm right back there
Am C
But I haven't seen you in years
D C
Since we went south somewhere
G D
We went south somewhere, yeah
C
We went south somewhere
C G D
Ohh
 
[Bridge]
C
We burned like fire
G
Never been higher
A
We were heaven on tires
 
[Out-Chorus]
C
Mile after mile
C
Young and wild
G
We turned left and it felt so right
D
We went south somewhere
C
Yeah, we'd hit the gas
C
Throw a dart at the map
G
When I close my eyes, boy i swear
D
It's like I'm right back there
Am
But I haven't seen you in years
C D
Oh, it's like I'm right there
G
When we went south somewhere
G
We went south somewhere
