E
You can drive around all day long and never get off of the dirt road
E                                                           A
Miles of caliche highway, sippin on a cool one, and drivin' slow
                  E
Just easin' along with the flow
B                           A                         E
I say paradise is relative, I say paradise is where I live

[Chorus]
A                                                  E
And I've been around here, ever since I been around
          A                                          E
And I was born here, and I'll be buried in this ground
B                          A      E                   G
Down in the bottom of Texas, just south of the Nueces

E
And I'm still hanging out with all the same dudes that I run around with in school
E                                                            A
We get together nowadays and lie about the things we used to do.
                            E
yeah, the things we used to do
       B                                            A                            E
No the good Lord don't put you in Hell for sittin' around with a friend and drinking a beer or two

[Chorus]
A                                                   E
And I've been around here, ever since I been around
               A                                          E
Yeah and I was born here, and I'll be buried in this ground
B                               A            E                    G
Way down in the bottom of Texas,  yeah, just south of the Nueces
