Intro: A, E, F#m, D
verse 1
A E
I grew up on the seat of a John Deere tractor bailing hay
F#m D
Now I'm standing in the middle of a high rise city on a subway train
A
I'm sure jaws are dropping, small town talking
E F#m D
Let 'em talk away, I don't care, I don't care
A E
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
F#m D
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
A E
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
F#m D
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
A
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
E
The way I talk or the way I pray
F#m D
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
A E
I ain't changing,
F#m D
I ain't changing
verse 2
A E
I'm still make some racket, leather jacket, hometown proud
F#m D
I'm still say the blessing, learn your lesson, watch your mouth
A E
I packed all that up in the bed of my truck when I hit the road
F#m D
No matter where I go, no matter where I go
A E
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
F#m D
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
A E
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
F#m D
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
A
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
E
The way I talk or the way I pray
F#m D
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
A E, F#m, D
I ain't changing,
Bridge
A E
I like my tough love, red blood rebel heart that beats
F#m D
Like the words in those old hymns we used to sing
A, E, F#m D
I ain't changing
A E
I'm still gonna be the reckless wheel that kicks up all that gravel
F#m D
I can feel the roots underneath these boots when I walk the road less traveled
A E
I'm still the son of the dirt I run back in them good old days
F#m D
Yeah, what you see is what you get, no matter what they say
A
I ain't changing a letter of my last name
E
The way I talk or the way I pray
F#m D
Carve the stone like a tattoo that ain't fading
A E
I ain't changing,
F#m D
I ain't changing
