[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][Bm][A]
[G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
I [G]still
see you when I [D]close my eyes
On [A]your back porch in the [Bm]summertime
[A]The kid[G]s on Mama's side
in [D]the back yard [A]running wild [Bm]as
[A]kud[G]zu [D]vines[A][Bm][A]

[Verse 2]
If [G]yall get burnt, [D]break off some aloe if yall
[A]get stung rub [Bm]in some to[A]bacco
If yall [G]get hot [D]or thirsty,
[A]you know where the [Bm]hose [A]is
[G]Fireflies, jun[D]e bugs, cicadas
[A]Menthol lights and [Bm]heirloom toma[A]toes
[G]Grab anything you want [D]from the garden,
just [A]better stay out of my [Bm]roses[A]
[G][D]

[Verse 3]
[A][Bm]
[D]Ain't it fun[A]ny how a memory comings
[G]flooding back so [D]fast
[A]When you accidentally stir up [G]mo
ments from the pas[D]t
[Bm]Back when things were [A]easy,
not a [D]care in the [G]world
Back when [Bm]summer days
[A]seemed to move in [G]circles
[D]Duke's mayonnai[A]se & Cherokee[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]I got out when [D]I got older,
but I [A]never could shake that chip [Bm]off of my shoulder
[A]As [G]big as the buick we [D]use to pile
in to [A]go up to [Bm]L&S Fast [A]Stop
It was [G]mountain dew or big [D]league chew,
and if [A]you were good you could [Bm]have [A]both
[G]advance pay for [D]an other day, [A]just dont tell your [Bm]Mama[A]

[Verse 5]
[G]We lost her back [D]in 95 but
[A]every year single year about [Bm]this time
[A]Something sil[G]ly as a sandwich brings[D]
her back to the [A]forefront of my [Bm]memory[A]
[G]I can still hear the way [D]she laughed or the
[A]way that sweet tea [Bm]tasted[A]
[G]Grab a chair, boy from [D]over there these
[A]beans aint gonna [Bm]snap [A]themselves"
