Can't you hear [A] me singing your song?
John Boat plowing up the deep green water Look, here comes Jimmy with a slide ride built by him
String floating in the Tennessee sun Always sounds a little muddy when we're digging [D] down here
She runs wild, fast and [A] free Born in the mountains up in Kentucky
