F#m A E D
Shit kickin’, suburban, I grew up bareback ridin’
F#m A Bm Dmaj7
Out on the weekends at ol’ Partain’s
F#m A
“If you can catch ‘em, you can ride ‘em.”
E D
That’s what the old man said to us kids
F#m A B D
I took that and ran for the rest of my days
[Chorus]
D A
I’m a little bit left of the “salt of the Earth”
E
Not too proud, I’ll prove my worth
D A E
A little bit right- my family, you know, they let me be
D A E
To make my way through this world, in spite of everything
[Post-Chorus]
Bm F#m A E D
Shit kickin’, suburban, for all I’m worth
[Verse 2]
F#m A
I’m a Honda girl Trail 90
E D
Burn my calf, every time I’d ride it
F#m A Bm D
That carburetor left its mark on me
F#m A
“If you can start ‘em, you can ride ‘em.”
E D
That’s what my daddy said to us kids
A B D
I took that and ran for the rest of my days
[Chorus]
D A
I’m a little bit left of the “salt of the Earth”
E
Not too proud, I’ll prove my worth
D A E
A little bit right - my family, you know, they let me be
D A E Bm F#m
To make my way through this world, in spite of everything
[Bridge]
Bm
Tearing down the dirt roads, Dean Brown’s gas store
F#m F#7sus
Walking past the old men “Get a load of that tomboy kid.”
Bm
Flying out the back door, Down to the lake shore
F#m F#7sus
Fishing pole, bait worms, “Delta Dawn” in my head
Bm
Catchin’ and releasin’ Didn’t feel it creepin’
[Verse 3]
A E
That Kudzu covered me, like it would set me free
D E
From the old ways, and the old men
Bm7 F#m
But damn that trickery, it got the best of me
A C# C#sus4 C#m
I’m gonna tear it down and start again
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
F#m A
Grand-daddy was a preacher
E D
Built that church from the sand to the steeple
F#m A Bm D
I didn’t know him except by his journalin' hand
F#m A
If you can find him, you can love him
E D
But girl, you got to be honest about him
F#m A B D
Or you’ll be fighting them weeds for the rest of your days
[Chorus]
D A
I’m a little bit left of the “salt of the Earth”
E
But that's all right, I’ll prove my worth
D A E
A little bit right-but my family, you know, they set me free
D A E Bm
To make my way through this world, in spite of everything
[Post-Chorus]
Bm F#m
Shit kickin’, suburban, for all I’m worth
