[Intro] D C G D x2 [Verse 1]
DDirt road, Georgia, Cchildhood days A Gsawmill way of Dlife Where I Amgrew up to love a rich girl Who could Gnever be my Dwife And the Droses near their Cmansion On a Gcool, southern Dground She Amcut a memory into mine But I Ghad to leave that Dtown DDirt poor, backwoods, CI was raised Now the Glawman's comin' 'Dround Mama Amsaid, "I raised a good boy But he Gburnt the sawmill Ddown"
[Chorus]
It's been Bmyears since I left AGeorgia And I Gleft there on the rDun They say her Cdaddy's still in a rage GOver Fwhat I Ddone But he Bmshot at me for Alovin' her Thought he Grun me outta Dtown But I Chid until the mornin' light Then I Gburned his Fsawmill Ddown
[Instrumental] D C G D [Verse 2]
DI still love that Clong-haired girl There's a Gprice tag on my Dhead Her Amdaddy owns the county law And if I Ggo back there, I'm Ddead So DI just dream of Csouthern roses And Gmiss the love we Dfound Lord, I Amwish I'd never been born poor Or Gburnt the sawmill Ddown
[Chorus]
It's been Bmyears since I left AGeorgia And I Gleft there on the rDun They say her Cdaddy's still in a rage GOver Fwhat I Ddone But he Bmshot at me for Alovin' her Thought he Grun me outta Dtown But I Chid until the mornin' light Then I Gburned his Fsawmill Ddown
[Outro]
DDirt poor, backwoods, CI was raised Now the Glawman's comin' 'Dround Mama Amsaid, "I raised a good boy But he Gburnt the Fsawmill Ddown" Mama Amsaid, "I raised a good boy But he Gburnt the Fsawmill Ddown"
