D
Playin' a pavilion on the outskirts of town,
                               A
Playin' where my roller derby rolls.
A
Just a part time music man, A nobody at the plant,
                                   D
I'm Tearin' Up The Country with a song.

Mom and Papa told me "Son, you gotta go to school
Only way to make the family proud
I paid no attention, left my books at home
Rather play my music real loud

Chorus:
D
Tearin' Up The Country with a song.
                               A

I paid no attention, left my books at home,
                           D
Rather play my music real loud. Play it now!

Play it loud, now! Woo!

Chorus

Ran into a dry spell, seemed nowhere to go
Good luck turned the tide, I'm on my way
I remember loading big trucks when
the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not

Chorus:
Tearing Up The Country with a song
Tearing Up The Country with a song
I remember loadin' big trucks when
the summer sun was hot
You know I could still be there, but I'm not - x2
