American Kids - Kenny Chesney
[Intro]
[C] [C] [F] [F]
[Verse 1 (Kelsea Ballerini)]
[C] Half of my high school got too drunk
[C] Half of my high school fell in love with the [F] girl next door
In their [F] daddy's Ford
And [C] half of my main street's mini skirts
[C] Half of my main street's dressed for church
It could [F] use some rain, and a fresh [F] coat of paint
|[Chorus (Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney)]
|Half of my home[C]town's still hangin' around
|Still talkin' about [G] that one touchdown
|They're still [Am] wearin' red and black
|"Go Bob[F]cats" while the other half
|Of my home[C]town, they all got out
|Some went [G] north, some went south
|They're still [Am] lookin' for a [G] feelin' half of us ain't [F] found
|So stay or [Dm] leave, part of [Em] me will always [F] be
|Half of my home[C]town
Instrumental:
[C] [F]
[Verse 2 (Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney)]
[C] Half of our prom queens cut their hair
[C] Half of them think that it ain't fair
The [F] quarterback moved away and never came back
[C] Half of my family is happy I left
The [C] other half worries I'll just forget
Where [F] I came from
Same place where [F] they came from
[Chorus (Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney)]
[Post-Chorus (Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney)]
Mm, [G] Half of my home[Am]town (Oh) [F]
[Bridge (Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney)]
[Am] Back roads [G] raised us
[F] Highways, they [C] take us
[Dm] Memories [Em] make us wanna go [F] back
|[Chorus (Kelsea Ballerini, with Kenny Chesney)]
|To our home[C]town, settle down
|Talk about [G] that one touchdown
|Raise some [Am] kids in red and black
|"Go Bob[F]cats" while the other half
|Of our home[C]town was in the crowd
|They knew the [G] words, they sang them loud
|And [Am] all I wanna [G] do is make them [F] proud
|'Cause half of [Dm] me will always [Em] be [F] Knoxville, Tennessee
|My home[C]town Oh
[Outro (Kelsea Ballerini & Kenny Chesney)]
[F] My home[C]town
[F] My home[C]town
