_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I want to let you know a little history about my life right now before I play this song. _ _ _
I was born on a farm in Louisiana. _ _
And I didn't know what running water was until I was 17 years old.
_ _ _ And of [F] _ _ [F#] course we didn't have [F] _
[B] electricity.
_ _ _ _ And my _ [C] agent was in [N] my office a few minutes ago and was talking.
He was saying, _ when you leave home, buddy, do _ you cut your air conditioner off? _
_ _ And I just looked at him about five minutes.
He said, because if you don't, _ you're going to fuck up the walls.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, he said, mildew or whatever that is, fuck up the walls. _ _
So I waited about ten minutes.
I said, _ you should be my age _ to know what I'm finna say.
_ _ [F] _ When I was 15 and 16, there wasn't no such a thing as air [N] conditioning.
_ _ _ [Fm] I could leave my house open or closed and there wasn't no mildew coming [N] in the fucking house. _ _
_ _ [D#] And he said, I didn't [B] think about it that way.
_ _ [N] The only air conditioning we had in church is the way we have with this kind of air conditioning.
You don't know what that is? _
_ Yeah.
_ _ Yeah.
But back to the song I'm finna sing. _ _
I was talking to my producer on my tow bus one day and I was telling him some of the same stories I'm telling you now. _
And my mother never got a chance to see me [E] play. _ _ _
And one day about [G] nine, ten [N] years ago, I was, she was combing her hair by the sunlight in the afternoon.
_ I danced between her and the mirror.
I said, Mom, I'm good looking. _ _ _
_ [G] So he said.
She did not [C#] crack a smile.
She said, son, that's only [N] skin deep. _ _
And my producer looked at me and said, buddy, you know, you're writing songs and don't even know it.
_ And we came up with the song that go like [A] this. _ _ _ _ _
