C  Dm    F  C
C  Dm    F  C


[Verse 1]
        C          Dm               F  C
He said come on in boy, sit on down
        C              Dm               F  C
Then he poured himself a coke and crown
    C                Dm               F  C
Sat back in my chair as he took a sip
     C           Dm                   F  C
Then my old man, yeah he told me this


[Verse 2]
            C             Dm               F  C
Well if you don't wanna follow in my shoes
     C             Dm               F  C
Then I don't want this life for you
           C        Dm               F  C
Yeah we're out of work half the time
           C                Dm                     F  C
'Cause the crops don't grow if the sun don't shine


[Chorus]
          C           Dm           F                     C
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
       C         Dm               F           C
If I'd known any better, I'd have ran from it all
       C           Dm          F               C
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
          C                Dm                    F             C
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine


[Interlude]
C  Dm    F  C


[Verse 3]
     C          Dm               F  C
Yeah I know you love that guitar
      C               Dm               F  C
Those songs you write can take you far
     C              Dm               F  C
Far away from these old county lines
     C                Dm                 F  C
Just do what you love and you'll be fine


[Chorus]
          C           Dm           F                     C
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
       C         Dm               F           C
If I'd known any better, I'd have ran from it all
       C           Dm          F               C
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
          C                Dm                    F             C
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine


[Solo]
C  Dm    F  C
C  Dm    F  C


[Chorus]
          C           Dm           F                     C
Yeah this world is so big, and our place in it's gettin' small
          C          Dm                   F           C
If I'd uh, known any better, I'd probably ran from it all
       C           Dm          F               C
I just want you to know all we got is a little time
          C                Dm                    F             C
You don't gotta be a small town farm boy waitin' on the sun to shine


[Outro]
C  Dm          F             C
       Waitin' on the sun to shine
