[F#m]
I was born in [D] the valley of the Cape Fear [A] River, about a 30 minute drive south of [Am] Virginia.
No [D] star in this great state, [A] but it's just what the signs say.
[F#m] [A]
[E] [D] [F#m]
[F#m] Well, anytime we [D] had a howdy, it [A] did, my daddy would be [B] 75 to skip [F#m] it.
Find a [D] chance to make it [A] out, not end [E] up like him.
[D] But I [A] ain't the man [D]
half the man [A] my daddy [D] was, half the [A] man he wanted me [E] to be.
[A] So I packed [E] up cash and chips [A] on any course.
No idea [E] where I was [D] going, and it never did work [A] for me.
[E]
Somehow I still think I've been [D] in Brown, just like him.
[F#m]
If [A] [F#m]
[A] [E] [F#m] you're locked up [D] and you're chewing a coal, [A] you work the grill, it [E] means more is more.
[F#m] If you buy a map, [D] pick a spot, [A] drive to settle [E] out of town.
[F#m] But this falling down [D] here is all too [A] real, broken [B] dreams and the black old [F#m] blues.
Out of [D] shells and hardened [A] eyes, didn't make [E] it out.
[F#m] Today the drop [D] down, not [A] good, I'll scoop the organs on sale.
[F#m]
Now that I'm out of [A] bars and out on divers and direct [E] change,
[D] we aren't [A] the men, [D] we aren't the men [A] our fathers were, [D] aren't the men [A] they wanted us to [E] be.
[A] So I [E] packed up cash and chips [D] on any course.

No [E] idea where I was going, [D] and it never did work for me.
