[Intro]
| G | C | G | C |
[Verse 1]
G C G C
I don't see old glory flying on every house up and down main,
G C G C
when a promise was a handshake and how you doing was a windshield wave.
D D C C
When the clothes were dryin' out on the line in the backyard of mama's house,
D D C D
and someone would say: "bless your heart" and you knew what they were talking about.
[Chorus]
G C G C
Back when country was a steel guitar, the quarter in a jukebox in a smoky bar
Em C D D
when Jesus mattered and you said yes ma'am, yeah, back when people used to give a damn.
G C G C
Hearing Waylon on the radio, front porch picking as he sunset slowed,
Em C D D
sipping whiskey from your grandpa's glass, I love to load the truck up and head on back.
G C G D
Back when country was, back when country was.
[Verse 2]
G C G C
Saturday supper, chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and some homegrown greens,
G C G C
sunday morning singing our prayers with some Johnny Cash 3:16.
D D C D
Old dirt road stop sign bullet holes and tire swing on a tree.
[Chorus]
G C G C
Back when country was a steel guitar, the quarter in a jukebox in a smoky bar
Em C D D
when Jesus mattered and you said yes ma'am, yeah, back when people used to give a damn.
G C G C
Hearing Waylon on the radio, front porch picking as he sunset slowed,
Em C D D
sipping whiskey from your grandpa's glass, I love to load the truck up and head on back.
G C G D
Back when country was, back when country was.
[Interlude]
| Em | C | D | D |
[End-Chorus]
G C G C
And I miss Waylon on the radio and Front porch picking as the sunset slowed;
Em C D D
and sippin' whiskey from my grandpa's glass, I loved to load the truck up and head on back.
G C G C
Back when country was, back when country was,
G C Am* G* G*
back when country was, back when country was.
