[G#] And talk about my [C#] hometown, she was a good [Fm] time place [A#m] to a little boy's eyes, [G#] so amazed at what [C#] he saw.
[F#] Like an Indian man with his hair in braids and a feather just for [C#] show,
[G#] and his black-eyed baby at his mama's breast by the stove in the general [C#] store.
And [F#] you could still get stuck on Main Street in the spring in the heavy [C#] rain,
and [G#] play hide and seek in the alley in back of the China Mums' [C#] Café.
[F#] And the farmer's wives went shopping, well, I meant folks spent some [C#]
time,
[G#] at a place they called a ten-cent store, cause a beer just [C#] cost a dime.
[F#] And a fistfight just outside that door with all his draw [C#] crowd.
And you know, [Fm] it never [A#m] once occurred to me why [G#] women [C#] weren't allowed.
[F#] [C#] [F#] And he was ten years old and barefoot, and he never had a [C#] care.
[G#] But Mother Nature's keeping time, she don't always [C#] keep it fair.
Now [F#] I've got the time to write some lines about happy [C#] days.
And being ten [Fm] years old [A#m] and barefoot was [G#] the best that [C#] I could do.
[G#]
[C#] [F#]
[C#] And now the barber shop and [A#m] pool room, [G#] they were one and the very [C#] same.
And with the [Fm] board across the [A#m] barber's chair, you [G#] could watch them play [C#] the game.
And [F#] laying pennies on the railroad track when the passenger [C#] came through.
[G#] And I swear that a thousand gophers stared down the barrel of my [C#] .22.
[F#] At hockey games and cowboy shows was our chance to make [C#] some noise.
[G#] And I know that every friend I had thought girls were the [C#] same as the boys.
[F#] And we didn't know if overalls were some baby [C#] in style.
And [G#]
boredom was a word that I wouldn't know for [C#] quite a while.
[F#] Now it don't matter where you live, it don't matter where [C#] you die.
Well stay ten [Fm] years [A#m] old and barefoot [G#] until you're eighty [C#]-five.
