[Verse]

        Em7
Got the heck outta Dodge,

 goin' forward in a Chevy
        Cadd9                G
As your truck lyin' off the river
         Em7
I ain't twenty-one no more,

No time for the strip when

Feedin' these dogs and 
 G
cuttin' these fields
Em7
Workin' like a hog, 

tryna pay them bills
    Cadd9                 
For a V-8 on gravel and a
  G          Em7

Go to heaven if I'm good, but 

I'm bad to the bone

And I don't wanna change crap
   Em7
Redneck rockstar at any Waffle House
    Cadd9       G
Even if it is 2am
 
         Em7
Smokin' joints out front, 

swappin' good times
Cadd9                    G
Watchin' for the police creepin' on by
Em7
Fist bump, country boys can survive
 
       Cadd9                 G    
We the last of a breed that don't

[Verse]

      Em7
Go to heck if I'm mean, 

but I love summer heat
      Cadd9          G
So it won't be that bad
     Em7
Roll in in the droptop, 

all matte black
     Cadd9                  G
With flames painted on the side
 
       Em7
We be kickin' up dust,

 bein' too loud
    Cadd9             
The Devil might end up 
 G
gettin' kicked out
 Em7
Charlie Daniels said punch 

you in the mouth

Em7
Came to earth as a Volunteer
        Cadd9               G
For the spirit of the down home
          Em7
You could tear me apart on 

my own frontier
      Cadd9                  G
Every piece turns like it's chrome
 
              Em7
And there's a hole in my heart, 

plug it with my own hand
Cadd9                 
Take all the hate as a 
 G
couple grains of sand
    Em7
Now go build a castle 

from the tears I shed

We the last of a breed that don't ever die

that don't ever die
