[Intro]

      G
After driving all night Daddy stopped the car
      D/F#
Said, "Wake up kids, here we are
        C             D
This is our new home"
          G
From that Oldsmobile all I could see
       D/F#
Was an ocean of fields out in front of me
   C                         D
It just rolled on, on and on
Em                D/F#               C
Daddy crossed the fence and he knelt down
Em                    D/F#              C
Filled his hands with rich farmland and said
N.C.
"This is good ground"
 
  G
I had it all underneath my feet
          D/F#
There was room to grow - there was time to breathe
    Em                          D
And dreams stretched high under summer skies
        G
This is where I'm from - this is who I am
D/F#
Down these roads I became a man
            Em                    D
And they're calling me - where my roots run deep
G/B  C      D
Deep down - this is good ground

G
Mama had me diggin' in her flower bed
D/F#
There it was an arrowhead
          C                          D
And all I wanted to be, was Cherokee
G
Seasons change and childhood goes
D/F#                              C
I laid down my homemade bow for a brown-eyed girl
                     D
She changed my world
Em           D/F#              C
I learned to drive so we could ride around
Em          D/F#           C
We made the sweetest memor ies in it
N.C.
On good ground
 
  G
I had it all underneath my feet
          D/F#
There was room to grow - there was time to breathe
    Em                          D
And dreams stretched high under summer skies
        G
This is where I'm from - this is who I am
D/F#
Down these roads I became a man
            Em                  D
And they're calling me where my roots run deep
G/B  C      D
Deep down - this is good ground
 
  G
I drove all night then I stopped the car
      D/F#
Said, "Wake up kids, here we are
        C
This is our new home
                    D
It's been too long"
G
Crossed that fence and I knelt down
      D/F#
Said, "Everybody gather 'round
C                    N.C.
Hold out your hands, this is good ground"
 
       G
You've got it all underneath your feet
        D/F#
There's room to grow - there's time to breathe
    Em                        D
And dreams stretch high under summer skies
        G
This is where I'm from - this is who I am
D/F#
Down these roads I became a man
            Em                  D
And they're calling me where my roots run deep
G/B  C      D
Deep down - this is good ground
