After (G) driving all night Daddy stopped the car
Said, (D/F#) "Wake up kids, here we are
This is (C) our new home" (D)
From that (G) Oldsmobile all I could see
Was an (D/F#) ocean of fields out in front of me
It (C) just rolled on, on and on (D)
(Em) Daddy crossed the (D/F#) fence and he knelt (C) down
(Em) Filled his hands with (D/F#) rich farmland and (C) said
(No Chord) "This is good ground"
I (G) had it all underneath my feet
There was (D/F#) room to grow - there was time to breathe
And (Em) dreams stretched high under (D) summer skies
This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am
(D/F#) Down these roads I became a man
And they're (Em) calling me - where my (D) roots run deep
(G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground

(D/F#) I laid down my homemade bow for a (C) brown-eyed girl
She changed my world (D)

I (G) had it all underneath my feet
