[Intro]
D Am D
Am7 Am [Verse]
D I was there when Shooter Jennings
Am
rewound the sound like a cassette G C G I watched Jamey Johnson cut (You)
"Can't Cash My Checks" D Back then Rowdy Jason Cope
A
was running shine sunset to vine C Picking songs with Leroy Powell,
G
making redneck isms rhyme D I guess now everyone knows Cousin
A
Dave but he been around awhile C Proving simple truths and music,
G
they just don't go out of style D It's hard to tell and when you're
Am
in it sometimes the moment's too profound C But if I had to bet my money G D Am That's when country came back to town [Verse]
D Right after that
I moved to Nashville
A
and most the Broadways stars C Wanted to be Cody Canada,
G
Ryan Bingham or Hayes Carll D They seemed too cautious to commit,
A
so they surrendered to the game C But nobody sang like Brandi
G
Carlile or wrote like Nikki Lane D But you couldn't deny that it
Am
was lost or how it would be found C But when Sturgill
climbed High Top Mountain G D D Country came back to town [Chorus]
C G Beyond the pickups and the backroads,
D
you could almost hear it play C Though it was softer than a
G D
whisper through the pines C G Some say it never left,
D
some say that it got saved C Some say, like everything,
G D
it changes over time C Well all I know for certain
G
is I'm glad I was around C G D When country came back to town Am G D Oh, when country came back to town [Verse]
D As the divide grew even greater
A
between commerce and art C Folks like Miranda Lambert kept
G
the beat inside its heart D Right along with Chris and Morgane
A
and Kacey Musgraves too C What took the world so long to catch on,
G
for us was nothing new D By the time the torch was passed
Am
and the hatchet was laid down C Music Row had nearly burned to ash G D D When country came back to town [Chorus]
C G Beyond the pickups and the backroads,
D
you could almost hear it play C
Though it was softer than a
G D
whisper through the pines C G Some say it never left,
D
some say that it got saved C Some say, like everything,
G D
it changes over time C Well all I know for certain
G
is I'm glad I was around C G D When country came back to town Am G D Oh, when country came back to town [Instrumental/Solo]
D Am C G D Am C G D Am D Am [Verse] D Now here we are eighteen years
A
later with a list a mile long C Of names like Childers, Jinks, Price,
G
and Whitey, Hood, Shook, Cook,
Cauthen and Combs D Lord knows it's hard to
name them all,
A
but hell, right off
the top of my head C Isbell, Eady, Patton,
G
Moonpies, Turnpike, Colter,
and Crockett D And won't be stopping,
no name dropping till
Am
history books echo the sound C Of all the folks who saddled
G
up and drove country D Am Back to town D Am G D Oh, back to town
