Em            C 
 State champs white and blue

 Yeah, I remember you 
Em              C                  G             D 
 You sure had a hell of a view from way up there 
Em              C 
 High above the yellow pines 
   G               D 
And first baptist "Jesus Saves" sign 
Em                C 
 I talked to you a million times but

 I'm getting out of hand 

C      G         D               G

You help me find my way back home 

Em               C 
 How far did you think I'd get 
G                  D 
 When I pointed my wheels out west? 
Em                  C 
 A little young and dumb I guess 
G                D 
 Gotta learn somehow 
Em                C 
 Slowin' down and drivin' in 
G              D 
 I can finally breathe again 
Em                   C 
 It's like I found a long lost friend 
G                     D 
 God I've missed this town
