G
She was raised up in Jersey,
C
I said oh Lord have mercy
G C
Never seen a one light town ’til she moved down here
G
She said I’m so bored out of my mind
C
Need a Starbucks and a wifi
G C
Or a jet airliner to fly me anywhere
Em D C
I said Do you wanna take a drive in my truck
Em D C
Don’t pay no mind to that 12 point buck
Am
Laid across my hood
CHORUS:
G
You ever been to Rome Georgia
D
Picked peaches off the trees
Am C
Climbed the water tower in Paris Tennessee
G
Been to Florence Alabama
D
Drank muscadine wine
Am C
Just give me a chance to change your mind
Em D C
So before you Go and fly away girl
C D G
Let me show you ’round a country boy’s world
G
Somewhere between there on a dirt road
C
When I rolled down my window
G C
She smelled the scent of wildflowers on the summer wind
G
With just a bite of homeade ice cream
C
And a glass of Momma’s sweet tea
G C
This ol’ holler’s got a way of makin’ friends
Em D C
She’d never seen a glowin’ field of fireflies
Em D C
Or the twinkle of a star in a southern sky
Am
She fell in love
CHORUS:
We went down to Rome Georgia
Picked peaches off the trees
Climbed the water tower in Paris Tennessee
Went to Florence Alabama
Drank muscadine wine
She gave me a chance and I made her mine
Says she’ll never fly away and she’s my girl
It’s ’cause I showed her ’round a country boy’d world
Oooh now she’s riding shotgun
Sayin’ baby let’s run wild
And Go down to
CHORUS:
Rome Georgia
Pick peaches off the trees
Climb the water tower in Paris Tennessee
Goto Florence Alabama
Drink muscadine wine
She gave me a chance and I made her mine
Says she’ll never fly away and she’s my girl
It’s ’cause I showed her ’round a country boy’s world
