[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Well, grandpa turned me on to Hank
G D
Williams, Locklin and Snow.
Dad gave me Waylon, Willie and Merle
A
On his old Chevy truck radio.
D
And all of my friends were rock and roll fans,
G
But not much has changed for me.
D A
As a matter of fact, the older I get,
G A D
More country I'm gettin' to be.
[Chorus]
G
So, here's to the real stuff.
G
Mamas and babies, lovers and crazies,
D
Working folks making ends meet
G
Honky tonk weekends, barbecue chicken,
A
Waving the flag cause you're free.
D
And when push comes to shove, in God we trust
G D/F# Em
And fighting for what you believe.
D
Pearl snaps and longnecks,
A
Yeah, the older I get,
G A D
More country I'm gettin' to be.
[Verse 2]
D
There was a time I was keen on Corvettes,
G D
Tracktops and 18 inch wheels.
A
But here I am driving my old man's old 65 pickup
A
CauseI love how it feels.
D
Getting farther away from those big city lights
G D G
Where the roots of my raising run deep.
D A
And I ain't looking back cause the older I get,
G A D
More country I'm gettin' to be.
[Chorus]
G
Here's to the real stuff.
G
Mamas and babies, lovers and crazies,
D
Working folks making ends meet
G
Honky tonk weekends, barbecue chicken,
A
Waving the flag cause you're free.
D
And when push comes to shove, in God we trust
G D/F# Em
And fighting for what you believe.
D
Pearl snaps and longnecks,
A
Yeah, the older I get,
G A D
More country I'm gettin' to be.
A
I's always redneck, but the older I get,
G A N.C.
The more country I'm gettin' to be
[Outro]
D A G A D
Well, grandpa turned me onto Hank
Williams, Lockland, and Snow
Dad gave me Waylon, Willie and Merle
On his old Chevy truck radio
All of my friends were rock 'n' roll fans
But not much has changed for me
As a matter of fact, the older I get
The more country I'm getting to be
So, here's to the real stuff
Mamas and babies, lovers and crazies
Working folks making ends meet
Honky Tonk weekends, barbecue chicken
Waving the flag cause you're free
And when push comes to shove
It's in God We Trust
And fighting for what you believe
Pearl snaps and long necks
Yeah, the older I get
The more country I am gettin' to be
There was a time I was keen on Corvettes
Ragtops and 18 inch wheels
But here I am driving my old man's old 65 pick up
Cause I love how it feels
Gettin' farther away from those big city lights
Where the roots of my raisin' run deep
And I ain't looking back cause the older I get
The more country I'm getting to be
So, here's to the real stuff
Mamas and babies lovers and crazies
Working folks making ends meet
Honky Tonk weekends, barbecue chicken
And waving the flag cause you're free
And when push comes to shove
It's in God We Trust
And fighting for what you believe
Pearl snaps and long necks
Yeah, the older I get
The more country I am getting to be
I was always redneck
But the older I get
The more country I'm getting to be
