[F#m] [A]
[E] I was born [F#m] in a valley [D] in a Cape field, river [A] about a 30 minute drive [E] to the south of Virginia.
[F#m] No [D] star of this great state, [A] at least that's what the [E] signs say.
[F#m] [A]
[B] [E] [F#m] [A]
[E] [F#m] The town we [D] either had or you didn't, [A] my daddy worked a 7 [E] to 5 just to get me.
[F#m] I fightin' [D] chance to make it out, [A] not end up [E] like him.
[D] I [A] ain't the man, [D] half the man [A] my daddy [D] was, half the [A] man he wanted me to [Em] be.
[E] [A] So I packed [E] up cash and [D] chips and pointed that [A] car east.
No idea [E] where I was [D] going, anywhere but here it [A] worked for me.
[E] Somehow I still think I made it proud, just by [F#m] getting out.
[A] [B] [F#m]
[A] [E] [F#m] You either get locked [D] up or you join the corps, [A] you work the grill [E] at Pete's Burgers and More.
[F#m] You buy a [D] map, pick a spot, [A] drive as fast [E] as you can.
[F#m] Falling [D] down here's all too [A] real, broken [E] dreams and tobacco [F#m] fields.
Hollow [D] shells with hardened [A] eyes that didn't make [E] it out.
[F#m] They either dropped [D] out or knocked [A] up, the high school [E] girls they thought they [F#m] loved.
Now their [D] life revolves [A] around diapers and [E] directives.
[D] We [A] aren't the men, [D] we aren't the [A] men our fathers [D] were, we aren't the [A] men they wanted [E] us to be.
