 Lyrical help would be much appreciated...most of this is before my time.
 
 INTRO: D C G C
 
        D           C                   
 I was born in '37, a sharecropper's son
 G                       C    
 Out on the great south plains
 D                          C                  
 There in the suburbs of a dryland cotton patch
         G                      C  
 In the middle of a west Texas rain
 
 (SPOKEN):
         D                                             C                                  
 And for all of you folks out there in radioland who don't know what a West Texas rain is,
 G                                        C      
 Well that's what's commonly known as a sandstorm
           D                        C G C 
 Remember that, you'll need it later
 
 I guess times were hard but livin' was easy
 We always found a way to survive
 Fried chicken and gravy and an old tune off the guitar
 Was enough to keep a country boy alive
 
 (SPOKEN):
 D                                 C                                 
 And on Saturday afternoons it was Lester Pruitt's "The Picture Show"
 G                                        C                              D               
 On Saturday's nights is the Grand Ol' Uproar from Nashville Tennessee, take it away boys
 
 D C G C 
     
 
 Lookin' back now and thinkin' it over
 Life was like an old country song
 My mama taught me the melody and daddy taught me the chords
 I made the words up on my own
 
 (SPOKEN):
 D                             C                            G 
 And sometimes it didn't rhyme, but they always had a reason,
                                C               
 Even if it was unbeknownst to no one but myself
 D                            C                 G                         C 
 I guess all that west Texas sand in my crawl, that's what make me so mean
                        D                                   C 
 I'd bet I was the only boy ever expelled from Sunday school
 G                                      C                            D 
 Lover, fighter, wild-horse rider, and purty dern good windmill maker
           C              G  C 
 Look out world, here I come
