The Leaves

no capo!

[chorus]

        Am
I got a long drive way
That ain’t never been paved
         Em
And it’s hidden in some tall pine trees
        Am
I got a old healer dog
That knows how to bark
And he ain’t never seen no leash
Em
Grown by the land you can tell by hands
And the blood running through these streams
     Am
Yeah i’m rooted in the earth
In the middle georgia dirt
In a place where i won’t
Be seen hidden in the leaves

[verse]

        Em
I got a 50round drum loaded up kinda scary
Unfold my ar9 flip the setting to binary
    Am
I’m spitting double double time trijicon shines bright
The red dot never lies when it says goodnight
           Em
You better think before you move cause my yard ain’t the spot
To show up with something to prove trespass and get shot
     Am
Papa bear don’t take chances when it comes to the cubs
If we talking kinfolks it ain’t nothing but love
          Em
You won’t even see them county boys crawling up out the leaves
Quietly like the breeze blending in with the trees
   Am
So please, don’t take this personally
Just watch your step this is a warning not a threat

[chorus]

        Am
I got a long drive way
That ain’t never been paved
         Em
And it’s hidden in some tall pine trees
        Am
I got a old healer dog
That knows how to bark
And he ain’t never seen no leash
Em
Grown by the land you can tell by hands
And the blood running through these streams
     Am
Yeah i’m rooted in the earth
In the middle georgia dirt
In a place where i won’t
Be seen hidden in the leaves

[verse]

Em
Big brothers ashes flow through the creek
I was climbing on them rocks before i could speak
Am
Looking up at the field in peace watching the stars
No pollution from city lights and cars
Em
So quiet and still you could feel the world move
Through the milky way, like a whirl pool
Am
Beautiful every day of the year
I never asked to come but glad i was born here
Em
It ain’t hard to see
Over a lifetime this place became a part of me
    Am
Yeah, i’m deeply rooted in the dirt
And grateful to have a place and purpose on this earth

[chorus]

        Am
I got a long drive way
That ain’t never been paved
         Em
And it’s hidden in some tall pine trees
        Am
I got a old healer dog
That knows how to bark
And he ain’t never seen no leash
Em
Grown by the land you can tell by hands
And the blood running through these streams
     Am
Yeah i’m rooted in the earth
In the middle georgia dirt
In a place where i won’t
Be seen hidden in the leaves

[verse]

Em
A lifelong jones county representative like a grown man
Ain’t trying to get it quick
Am
Don’t get excited online i play the long game
Like a brick at a time and build my own name
Em
Like papa rick said your reputation is profit
Stand it on a strong foundation and they can’t knock it
Am
So never change no matter how far
You are from where you came from remember what you are

[chorus]

        Am
I got a long drive way
That ain’t never been paved
         Em
And it’s hidden in some tall pine trees
        Am
I got a old healer dog
That knows how to bark
And he ain’t never seen no leash
Em
Grown by the land you can tell by hands
And the blood running through these streams
     Am
Yeah i’m rooted in the earth
In the middle georgia dirt
In a place where i won’t
Be seen hidden in the leaves
