[Intro: ](G)  (G)  (C)  (D)  (G)  (G)  (C)  (G)  {PLAY TWICE} 
 
 
After (G) driving all night Daddy stopped the car 
Said, (D/F#) "Wake up kids, here we are 
This is (C) our new home" (D) 
From that (G) Oldsmobile all I could see 
Was an (D/F#) ocean of fields out in front of me 
It (C) just rolled on, on and on (D) 
(Em) Daddy crossed the (D/F#) fence and he knelt (C) down 
(Em) Filled his hands with (D/F#) rich farmland and (C) said 
(No Chord) "This is good ground" 
 
 
   I (G) had it all underneath my feet 
   There was (D/F#) room to grow - there was time to breathe 
   And (Em) dreams stretched high under (D) summer skies 
   This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am 
   (D/F#) Down these roads I became a man 
   And they're (Em) calling me - where my (D) roots run deep 
   (G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground

(G) Mama had me diggin' in her flower bed 
(D/F#) There it was an arrowhead 
And all I (C) wanted to be, was Cherokee (D) 
(G) Seasons change and childhood goes 
(D/F#) I laid down my homemade bow for a (C) brown-eyed girl 
She changed my world (D) 
(Em) I learned to (D/F#) drive so we could (C) ride around 
(Em) We made the (D/F#) sweetest memor(C)ies in it 
(No Chord) On good ground 
 
 
   I (G) had it all underneath my feet 
   There was (D/F#) room to grow - there was time to breathe 
   And (Em) dreams stretched high under (D) summer skies 
   This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am 
   (D/F#) Down these roads I became a man 
   And they're (Em) calling me where my (D) roots run deep 
   (G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground 
 
 
I (G) drove all night then I stopped the car 
Said, (D/F#) "Wake up kids, here we are 
This is (C) our new home 
It's been too long" (D) 
(G) Crossed that fence and I knelt down 
Said, (D/F#) "Everybody gather 'round 
(C) Hold out your hands, (No Chord) this is good ground" 
 
 
   You've (G) got it all underneath your feet 
   There's (D/F#) room to grow - there's time to breathe 
   And (Em) dreams stretch high under (D) summer skies 
   This is (G) where I'm from - this is who I am 
   (D/F#) Down these roads I became a man 
   And they're (Em) calling me where my (D) roots run deep 
   (G/B) Deep (C) down - (D) this is good ground
