[Intro]
G C Em7 C
[Verse 1]
D G
Thank God he don't charge to look at the stars
C
So, we built fires 'stead of going to bars
Em7
The pallets we stole from the back of Walmart
C D
Lit up every acre of Will's cotton farm
G
We spent every summer out in the heat
C
Cutting that grass and cutting our teeth
Em7 C
'Cause life ain't easy, it sure ain't cheap, but if you asked eighteen me
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did
G
Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb
C
Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win
Em7 D
We didn't have much, but we had it all back when
C G C
We were just a bunch of red dirt rich kids
[Verse 2]
D G
Worked hard like our daddies
G
Try to make 'em proud
C
'Cause our last name wasn't all they handed down
Em7
Like the trucks we drove, laps around town
C
Till the tank ran dry, or the sun came out
[Chorus]
G
Yeah, gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did
G
Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb
C
Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win
Em7 D
We didn't have much, but we had it all back when
C G
We were just a bunch of red dirt rich kids
[Guitar Solo]
C Em C
[Bridge]
F
Yeah, some of us got out, some of us stuck around
C
Some are blue collar and some ain't now
F C
But damn, looking back, yeah, life was better somehow
[Chorus]
G
When gas was like gold in a Silverado rocket
C
To kiss on the hood was like money in our pockets
Em7 C
We didn't have a bit of it in our wallets, but it felt like we did
G
Our bank had some clothes and a rope on a limb
C
Twelve pack 'stead of six if you scratch and you win
Em7 D
We didn't have much, but we had it all back when
C G
We were just a bunch of red dirt rich kids
[Outro]
C
Some red dirt rich kids
Em
Some red dirt rich kids
D
We had it all back when
C G
We were just a bunch of red dirt rich kids
