Upchurch - No One Told Us

[Intro]

Cm Cm Cm Cm

[Verse 1]

Cm
You smell that fan in the window lettin’ air in
Cm
Coals still burnin’ outside from last weekend
Cm
Your truck done died it was runnin’ all night
Cm
To be the jukebox jam and the wood chop light
Cm
You see that fence post nail at the top
Cm
To hold the water bucket when the faucet’s off
Cm
That hide-a-way shed ain’t just for the straw
Cm
But also lightin’ up and strummin’ on a guitar

[Chorus]

Cm
And I sang man-oh-man
Cm
Where’d the good times go?
Cm Cm
Back when Fall by Clay Walker was playin’ on the radio
Cm
So I sang boy-oh-boy
Cm
How I miss them old Toyotas
Cm Cm
Yeah, country is as country does, we was but no one told us

[Verse 2]

Cm
Yeah, I’m sick of hearin’ the same thing, rhinestone cowboys
Cm
I’m about to smack y’all like the ass on a cowgirl
Cm
I’m Mr. Tennessee, barefoot bandit up in rocky top
Cm
Orange and white blanket up in that red, red ragtop
Cm
You want the gun smoke then bring your ass to the farm
Cm
We just some country boys and girls gettin’ stoned in a barn
Cm
I get the Chattahoochee coochie I’m the hollars Elvis Presley
Cm
Even when I’m fat and old Dixie chicks is gonna dig me
Cm
I’ll be somewhere on a boat gettin’ too damn sunburnt
Cm
Middle fingers up, sissies still bein’ butthurt
Cm
I’ll be castin’ a line just sittin’ watchin’ the float jump
Cm
Put the country in country no need to give it to me

[Chorus]

Cm
And I sang man-oh-man
Cm
Where’d the good times go?

[Verse 3]

Cm7
Yeah, the music industry think they got me itchin’ like sumac
Cm7
Got a bunch of tens in Tennessee line dancin’ to this rap
Cm7
Rap stills do the shimmy of all the bass to the floor joists
Cm
Do it like the legends, rock it out ‘til we’re deaf boys
Cm7
I’m kickin’ up the amperage like I’m jumpin’ off a Peterbilt
Cm7
Parkin’ through the algae where the Creekers hid the shine stills
Cm7
Ridin’ down the roads that lead to nothin’ but a buzz
Cm7
I put the country in the rap because I’m wrapped up in the cut

[Bridge]

Cm7
And I sang son-oh-son
Cm
Just believe me when I say
Cm Cm
One day when I’m dead and gone you’ll smirk along and sing

[Chorus]

Cm
And you’ll sing man-oh-man
Cm
Where’d the good times go?
Cm Cm
Back when it was Holler Boys by Upchurch on the radio
Cm
So I sang boy-oh-boy
Cm
How I miss them old Toyotas
Cm
Yeah, country is as country does,
