What I Claim

C Am C Am

[Verse 1]
            C
I ain't the best singer or the best lookin'
      Am
Ain't got a plan to make people listen to me
      C
Ain't no designer tellin' me what to wear
      Am
I hit Tractor Supply and get six of the same pair
   C
My claim to fame is a story in a page
    Am
Marijuana and some thoughts written down to explain
       C
From a day I lived and turned into a song
     Am
As I sit on a porch gettin' stoned at my farm
   C
29 years old, out livin' in a dream
    Am
Big fancy tour bus and millions of streams
              C
But I'm still in muddy water, way more than waist-deep
          Fm
I love my upbringin' and I ain't ashamed

[Chorus]
     C                    F
That I claim the rednecks and everywhere that's out on a mountain
    C                               F
And I claim the rеbel flags, flyin' high off a young man's Scottsdale cab
    C                                   F
And I claim evеry good ol' boy with homemade tattoos that he's still proud of
   Am                     G              F
It ain't how I dress, naw it ain't how I sing
                           C       Am     C     Am
It's how I tell 'em what I claim

[Verse 2]
C
There'll never be another Johnny Cash
      Am
But I feel like him when I'm pissed-off mad
          C
In one of my muscle cars goin' way too fast
    Am
Not worried if a deer even kills my ass
     C
Then after a few miles, I quit bein' so wreckless
Am
Light me up a roach while I'm listenin' to Elvis
C
Like a hound dog hangin' out the window
Am
Still holdin' my soul 'cause the devil can't get it
      C
Yeah, music ain't money 'round here, no sir
         Am
It's the blood in our veins and a flag on the porch
    C
Red with a blue circle, holdin' three bright stars
       F
In the 615, ask who we are

[Chorus]
            C                     F
They'll say we claim the rednecks and everywhere that's out on a mountain
      C                                F
Yeah, we claim the rebel flags, flyin' high off a young man's Scottsdale cab
    C                                    F
And we claim every good ol' boy with homemade tattoos that he's still proud of
         Am                      G               F                               C         F
Yeah, it ain't how we dress, and it ain't how we sing, it's how we tell 'em what we claim
                       C        F
And hell naw, we ain't ashamed

[Bridge]
           C
Hopefully, one day, long from now
C
Way in the future, when I'm underground
C
A rebel child will discover the sound
     F
Of a Nashville-born, redneck loud-mouth

[Chorus]
             C                           F
And say that he claimed the rednecks and everywhere that's out on a mountain
      C                                  F
Yeah, he claimed the rebel flags, flyin' high off his truck and he didn't get scared
    C                                      F
And he claimed every good ol' boy with homemade tattoos like he had on his arm
         Am                        G               F                               C
Yeah, it ain't how he dressed, and it ain't how he sang, it's how he told 'em what he claimed
