[E] [G]
[D] [G] I was born on a dead-end street with a [D] gun range at the end of it that [E] backed up to a
[F#m] swamp and I spent more time in there than I did with [Bm] people.
[D] I believe in gold as most people don't I [A] swear it on my grandpa's [F#m] grave
It [Bm] wasn't like I was some prodigy or [Em] a [F#] hard-knock kid.
That's not what [B] it was.
My parents loved me, they loved us [D] all, as it [F#] should be.
[A#] [G#] It wasn't [D] normal, but it wasn't [A] abnormal.
[G] I'm a [Bm] villain, [D] so jump off a ledge and [A] burn all those [Bm] bridges
Walk on the edges, I'm a villain, [D] so come out in the shadows
[A] Take all the arrows, [Bm] right in the air
[G] 7th grade our house burnt to the [D] ground and when we were rebuilding [Bm] it
[E] I [G] would sit up there at night and just kind [D] of mess around and play guitars
[A] and watch people's hands on YouTube and my dad was like,
Hey, learn a couple songs and I'll take you to an open mic.
And I was like, [G] no, no.
Finally I was like, okay, [A] fine, I'll do it for you
so [Bm] you'll just stop asking me.
I didn't have a guitar strap, I just put my foot up on a box
[D] and [A] sang The Cost of Living by Ronnie [Bm] Dunn.
[A] That song is my [D] father to a T.
[A] Now he's all the way in the [E] back, leaning up against the wall behind everybody
and I'm up there.
I'm [A] just staring right at him, [Em] just [E] staring.
[G] And he's [Am] just crying, he's just standing there crying.
You've never stared your father down while he's just crying
and you're doing something that is making him proud, that's a hard thing to do.
I'm staring [G] at him, I'm like, [E]
alright, [A] maybe I do have something here.
[E] Just looking for a brand new [D] way to get [A] lost.
[E] Don't Come Looking was really just about getting [Bm] out where people aren't
and we were just kind of knocking around [E] trying to find something to write.
I thought of something that I used to say to my mom before I left the house.
Now, whenever we leave the house, it's, you [Am] know, stay alive no matter what [Em] occurs,
I will find you, that kind of whole thing.
I just started saying to her one day, I was like, Mom, if I don't come back,
just don't come looking for me.
Like, I'm being dead serious, just don't come looking.
It means I don't [G] want to come back.
Don't [A] care as long as it's now
[E]
So long [G] for a little [A] sun
Got a tank full of gas down the [G] road I'm [E] burning
Can't say a word and I can't say more
And if I don't come back, don't come looking for me
If I wanted to get away from the world, I'd [G] probably go to [E] the tack room.
I [F#m] lived in it for [G] two years.
It's where [D] they used to keep the horse [G] feed and the saddles and all.
It looks pretty much like a single wide cut in half.
[E] It's four block walls, no running water, [A] no heat, no A.C.
[E] But that was an escape from the world to me,
where [D] I'd just [A] chill [Bm] and live [E] and exist
and get my [A] mind right and maybe lose it if I [E] want to.
So long [G] for a little sun
Got a [A] tank full of gas down [G] the road I'm burning
[E] Can't say a word and I can't say [D] more
And if I don't come back, [G] don't come [E] looking
Well, [A] tonight we are having band practice for [G] [E] our live stream at the Exoden.
2020 has [Em] been [A] crazy.
[E]
I quarantined [G] in my shack back home for a couple months
[Am] and signed a record deal [F] and I finally moved to town full time.
[C] So that's awesome.
[D] Just packed [G] everything up in my truck and left.
But other [Am] than that, man, I'm just working
and [F] trying to make the best music that I can
and [C] keep my nose on the grindstone.
[G]
[F] [C]
Stay away
[G] I was always kind of drawn to it, you know.
I always wanted control of the radio.
I didn't ever want to listen to the news.
I just [Am] wanted music, you know.
And I think this is true for a lot of other people,
is that people base their lives [F] around music and they don't even know it.
You kind of do, but you kind of don't.
It says a lot about [C]
who you are as to what you listen to.
[G] Love everything
Oh, [Am] I
[F] [C] So stay away
2021 is going to look like a freight train for us.
It's all about [F] the setup right now.
We're pretty excited about what's coming.
Just making musical fusion all [G] over the country.
Maybe even [C] in [F]
[C]
[F] the world.
