Am C G Dm


[Verse 1]
Am
Old boat, new boat

Red boat, blue boat
C
Only thing better than one is two boats
G
Big church, small church
                   Dm
Come one, come all church
Am
New sound, old sound

Small town, old town
C
If you're drinkin' better have enough for the whole town
G
Red dirt, clay dirt
                  Dm
Tryna get the pay dirt


[Chorus]
 N.C.   Am               C
Country did, as country does
            G
Long as the salt gets licked
                                 Dm
and the corn grows thick and the sun comes up
         Am             C
Country is, as country was
                G
'Round here the good ol' days
                           Dm
ain't far away 'cause they can't change us
C
Proud of your family, proud of your name
G
Proud of the mud runnin' through your veins
           Dm                                  F
This ain't nothing don't understand the way it was
            Am  C         G   Dm
But country does, country does


[Verse 2]
Am
Old folks, kin folks

Those folks, them folks
C
Talk about us gonna take it on the chin folks
G
Farm work, hard word
                  Dm
Kids do the yard work
Am
Slow song, sad song

Growin' up on bad songs
C
Long as there's fiddle hell there really ain't a bad song
G
Cold beer, cheap beer
                        Dm
Plant our roots and our boots and our feet here


[Chorus]
 N.C.   Am               C
Country did, as country does
            G
Long as the salt gets licked
                                 Dm
and the corn grows thick and the sun comes up
         Am             C
Country is, as country was
                G
'Round here the good ol' days
                           Dm
ain't far away 'cause they can't change us
C
Proud of your family, proud of your name
G
Proud of the mud runnin' through your veins
           Dm                                  F
This ain't nothing don't understand the way it was
            Am  C         G   Dm
But country does, country does

         Am               C
Country did, as country does
            G
Long as the salt gets licked
                                 Dm
and the corn grows thick and the sun comes up
         Am             C
Country is, as country was
                G
'Round here the good ol' days
                           Dm

C
Proud of your family, proud of your name
G
Proud of the mud runnin' through your veins
           Dm                                  F
