A                      G                  D
There's some days when I wake up can't remember
        A
where I am
A                     G                     D
Said some things, regret some things but I really
              A
don't give a damn
 A                 G                D
Somewhere on this road I'm on I forgot
                   A
what it's like to feel
    A                G
I know I can't see heaven up there but
    D              A
I know that it's real

G                   D
And I ain't sure if I'll get in
         A
But you best believe I'm trying
      G              D
And this is what my daddy told me
            E
And that's how I live my life

Chorus:
                  Am      F           C        G
Got to take that ball cap off before you say grace
And always own up to your own mistakes
And don't you ever back down, no way no how
Got to make your daddy proud that he raised
a man of the south
Yeah, that's what he did

I can't heal the broken hearts I left so far behind
On this road I have chose I lost all sense of time
So I drift into the night tryna drown
away my sorrows
It might be wrong, but that's alright

       F                            E
'cause all the time is borrowed anyways

Chorus:
Got to take that ball cap off before you say grace
And always own up to your own mistakes
And don't you ever back down, no way no how
Got to make your daddy proud that he raised
a man of the south

G                                D
Some call me lost some call me crazy
             A
But that's okay
G                                      D
Think what you want and say what you will
                         A
But I've always kept it real
G
There's a cost for all these sins
         D
And I'm bound to pay the price
      G
But this is what my daddy told me
            E
And that's how I live my life

Chorus:
Got to take that ball cap off, son,
before you say grace
And always own up to your own mistakes
And don't you ever back down, no way no how
Got to make your daddy proud that
he raised a man of the south
A man of the south
Ahh, take it away boys
Better take that ball cap off son
