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
