[Em] [G]
[Am] [C]
[G] I'm not even a young gun anymore, [Am] you know, I used to [C] be when I [G] started playing bluegrass
and now there's, you know, young [D] kids, [G] there's this one kid, Presley Barker, and he's, you
know, [D] he's even getting up there, he's [E] 12 years, 13 years old now, [F] but he's a really
great flat [G] picker.
There's sort of a divide in bluegrass as well as, like, you know, life, you know, in this
country or whatever.
There's like, there's the old school [Fm] purists and [D] the traditionalists, and there's, you
know, crisscross, and they, you know, not everybody, but there are like, you know, certain
folks that maybe see what we do or whatever and just like, they don't like it because
it ain't what Bill Monroe did or this or that.
And I think, well, sorry man, like, we're just moving forward with our [G] music, you know,
whatever that means.
We're just trying to write music and I love bluegrass, you know, I [C] cut my teeth on all
the old [G] stuff, but there's also room for just [D] writing your own stuff, [G] you know.

[Em] [B]
[A] [F#] [B] You can't stop us [A] from putting our lives [F#] on the line.
[B] You can't stop [Em] us from dancing.
[B] You can't stop [A] us from [F#] feeling high.
[B] We can't help it [A] if we'd like to stay out [F#] all night.
[B]
It's a cure [Em] for the bleakness.
[B]
It's a pill [E] for the day [F#] to [B] day.
Just wait [A] for me to shake loose the dust and [F#] the clay.
[D#m]
I'd love to show [C#m] you, but you wouldn't [D#m] go.
I'd let take you, [C#m] but I know the [F#] way you [B] roll.
You see it your [A] way, [E] I'll see it mine and [B] I'll be fine.
You see it your [E] way, I'll see it mine and I'll [B] be fine.

While we're young [Em] and resilient, [B]
while we're [A] fearless and [F#] fancy free, [B]
we'll be [A] fine without
you and your [F#] numbers and lines.
[B]
While we're [Em] wishing and watching, [B]
while we're [E] wishing and [F#] watching here, [B]
we won't see [A] your
illusion, no [F#] blanket of fear.
[B]
Like a wave [Em] through the [B] ocean, like a [A] gust on an [F#] August [B] day, while we're [A] moving you won't
stand a [F#] chance in our way.
[D#m]
I'd love to show [C#m] you, but you wouldn't [G#m] go.
[D#m] I'd love to take [C#m] you, but I know the way [F#] you [B] roll.

Should have been gone [Em] for years now.
[B]
You should have packed [E] up and [F#] left this place.
[B]
Should have ducked [A] out and given up your spot [F#] in the race.
[F#m] [B]
You can cling [Em] to your madness.
[B]
You can swim [A] down and [F#] hold your breath.
[B]
I'll be standing [A] on dry ground with all [F#] of the rest.
