     [verse A]
     Bb              Eb          Gm                 F
     Born out in the country and raised down on the farm
     Bb        Eb     Gm    F        Eb
     Got my education out behind the barn 

     [verse B]
     Bb              Eb      Gm             F
     Left one Sunday morning in the driving rain

     [Oh get me out of here, a little further down the line]

     I've been to Californina, I've been to New Orleans
     I've been to New York City, and everywhere between
     I've eat beans and taters, and your finest caviar
     drank brandy from a snifter, and moonshine from a jar

     [CHORUS]

     [fiddle BREAK same as verse A and B]

     Spent 20 years in prison, with a number for my name
     they fed me bread and water, tied to a ball and chain
     I swore the day they slammed the door, and the jailer locked me in
     if they ever let me out of here, I'd never go back again

     [CHORUS]

     [mandolin and Banjo split BREAK same as verse A and B]

     I'm dreaming of the day, that I'll return back to my home
     thats where I want to settle down, never more to roam
     Set me on a Tractor, and point me to the field
     I will plow a furrough, my hands upon the wheel

     [CHORUS]
