IntroGCadd2GCadd2Verse 1GCadd2
Where’d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
GCadd2
He’s still crawdad fishin’ at the waterin’ hole
GCadd2
I must’ve turned eighteen and drove away
GCadd2
After all these years I’m finding my way
ChorusG
Oh, back to climbin’ up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
G
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
An easier life, Lord an easier time
G
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly,
Cadd2A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
GCadd2
Back to real, back to me
GCadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
GCadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free
Verse 2GCadd2
How the hell did we wind up here,
GCadd2
Self-medicated in a lazy chair?
GCadd2
All set for dying, locked in our homes,
GCadd2
Nobody’s talking but we’re all on the phone
ChorusG
Back to climbin’ up that old old tree
Cadd2
Back into the mud underneath my feet
G
Back to a simpler state of mind,
Cadd2
an easier life lord an easier time
G
Bottle rocket - blackcat – firefly,
Cadd2A plywood ramp stacked three bricks high
GCadd2
Back to real, back to me
GCadd2
Oh back to free, like we used to be
GCadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free
BridgeG
Rope swing; main street; pregnancy scare
Cadd2
Fast lane; insane; driving impaired
G
Empty pockets; sweet lover’s lane;
Cadd2
The county is dry so let it rain
G
Short fuse; good news, plants were tall
Cadd2A negative Tess, that old Johnny law
GCadd2
We had nothing, we had it all
GCadd2
We were free, like we used to be
GCadd2GCadd2GCadd2
You and me, let’s get back to free
OutroGCadd2
Where’d that dirt face, bare foot, rebel kid go
GCadd2
He’s still rawdad fishin’ at the waterin’ hole
