Lyrics
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Headed out before daybreak,by myself but not alone}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I've got my old hunt dog ridin shotgun,and the best rifle that I own.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Rollin out to the deep woods,just to see whats goin on,}
[F] [G] [Gm] NO CHORD
{ll:Just enough time to have a little fun,before the sun has come,and gone.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Daddy always said hold your head up,don't spend your time lookin down.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Theres too many things that a man can miss,if he's always lookin at the ground.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Thank God for your family,and never leave a friend when he's down,}
[F] [G] [Gm]NO CHORD
{ll:These are the things that make a man,always make his daddy proud.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I grew up in the swamp land just south of the edge of town,}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:learned my guitar licks from them backwood hicks,lORD they know how to lay em down.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:In the backwoods your taught how to work hard,how to make on your own.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:And don't jump in the river,with no mean alligator,and boy leave them rattlesnakes alone.}
[CHORUS]
[F] [C] [G] [D]
{ll:And this way that I'm livin,is the only way that I know,}
[F] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I get up on Sunday son,before the rooster crows,they call me,}
[F] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:no good,just backwoods,but you can bet that they know,}
[F] [G] [Gm]NO CHORDS
{ll:When it comes to the country,there aint nothing that i don't know.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:Well it didn't long when my daddy died,for me to pack up and move away,}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I made sure mamma would be alright,and let my little brothers take my place.}
[Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I headed on down that long hard road,lookin for my fortune,and fame}
[F] [G] NO CHORD
{ll:Mamma called just the other day,and said daddy would be proud of what you've done with his name.}
[CHORUS]
[F] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:And this way that I'm livin,is the only way that I know,}
[F] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:I'm up on a Sunday,before the rooster crows,they call me,}
[F] [C] [G] [Dm]
{ll:simple and silly,just a dumb hillbilly,but you can damn sure bet that they know,}
[F] [G] NO CHORD
{ll:I can play that country,and some hillbilly rock & roll.}
[OUTRO][Dm] [C] [G] [Dm]
