[Intro]

[Verse 1]
     E
The sun comes up and sun comes down
C#m
14 miles from the nearest town
A
My roots are planted in this ground
                      E
It's the only life I know
  E
I look out on these fields of green
C#m
Hours get long and days get mean
         A
But when I get up this is where I'll
 be
                      E
It's the only life I know


[Chorus]
Continues after the ad
       C#m          B
In the skies turn grey
          B         E
Yeah this road gets long
     C#m      B           B    E
I'll find a way to keep moving on
B                              C#m
Round and round this old world goes
         C#m         E
It's the only life I know


[Post-Chorus]
E  E  E  E


[Verse 2]
E
It's the place where I was born
   C#m
My grandpa plowed these fields of 
corn
         A
It's the only pair of boots I've 
worn
                     E
It's the only way I know


[Chorus]
       C#m          B
In the skies turn grey
          B         E
Yeah this road gets long
     C#m      B           B    E
I'll find a way to keep moving on
B                              C#m
Round and round this old world goes
         C#m         E
It's the only life I know

[Post-Chorus]
