[Intro]
C Am C Am
[Verse 1]
C
I ain't the best singer
or the best lookin'
Am
Ain't got a plan to
make people listen to me
C
Ain't no designer tellin'
me what to wear
Am
I hit Tractor Supply and
get six of the same pair
C
My claim to fame is
a story in a page
Am
Marijuana and some thoughts
written down to explain
C
From a day I lived and
turned into a song
Am
As I sit on a porch gettin'
stoned at my farm
C
29 years old, out livin' in a dream
Am
Big fancy tour bus and
millions of streams
C
But I'm still in muddy water,
way more than waist-deep
Fm
I love my upbringin' and
I ain't ashamed
[Chorus]
C F
That I claim the rednecks and
everywhere that's out on a mountain
C
And I claim the rеbel flags,
F
flyin' high off a young
man's Scottsdale cab
C
And I claim evеry
good ol' boy with
F
homemade tattoos that
he's still proud of
Am
It ain't how I dress,
G F
naw it ain't how I sing
It's how I tell 'em what
C Am C Am
I claim
[Verse 2]
C
There'll never be
another Johnny Cash
Am
But I feel like him when
I'm pissed-off mad
C
In one of my muscle cars goin'
way too fast
Am
Not worried if a deer
even kills my ass
C
Then after a few miles,
I quit bein' so wreckless
Am
Light me up a roach while
I'm listenin' to Elvis
C
Like a hound dog hangin'
out the window
Am
Still holdin' my soul
'cause the devil
can't get it
C
Yeah, music ain't money
'round here, no sir
Am
It's the blood in our veins and
a flag on the porch
C
Red with a blue circle,
holdin' three bright stars
F
In the 615, ask who we are
[Chorus]
C F
They'll say we claim the rednecks and
everywhere that's
out on a mountain
C
Yeah, we claim the rebel flags,
F
flyin' high off a
young man's Scottsdale cab
C
And we claim every good ol' boy with
F
homemade tattoos that
he's still proud of
Am
Yeah, it ain't how we dress,
G F
and it ain't how we sing,
it's how we tell 'em
C F
what we claim
C F
And hell naw, we ain't ashamed
[Bridge]
C
Hopefully, one day,
long from now
C
Way in the future, when
I'm underground
C
A rebel child will discover the sound
F
Of a Nashville-born,
redneck loud-mouth
[Chorus]
C
And say that he claimed the
F
rednecks and everywhere that's
out on a mountain
C
Yeah, he claimed the rebel flags,
F
flyin' high off his truck and
he didn't get scared
C
And he claimed every
good ol' boy with
F
homemade tattoos like
he had on his arm
Am
Yeah, it ain't how he dressed,
G F
and it ain't how he sang,
it's how he told
C
'em what he claimed
