    • Verse 1
    Every 

    song 
    I sing 
    cuts 
    a little 
    bit more 

    You could 
    never 
    connect 
    the copper 

    cast 
    with 
    the mold 

    You could 
    never 
    guess, 

    you 
    could never 
    guess 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    guess 
    where 
    I come 
    from, 

    no 

    Verse 2
    Every 
    mile 
    I 
    drive, 
    further 
    down 
    this 
    road 

    Tears 
    a 
    little 
    more 
    off 
    of 
    my 
    bones 

    And 
    you 
    could 
    never 
    guess, 

    you 
    could 
    never 
    guess 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    guess 

    where 
    I 
    come 
    from, 
    no 

    Verse 3
    The 
    first 
    thing 
    they 
    was 
    taught, 

    was 
    how 
    to load 
    and 
    lock 

    Take 
    that 
    aim 
    and shot, 

    embrace 
    the 
    pain 
    of shoulder 
    blade 
    taking 
    stock 

    Watch em 
    drop, 
    pull the 
    bolt 
    back, 

    load 
    another 
    up 
    till the 
    clip 
    goes 
    "pop" 

    Till you 
    sweep 
    your 
    block, 

    and 
    you 
    can hear 
    a pin 
    drop 

    In 
    a place 
    that's 
    more 
    comfortable 

    with 
    "POP! 
    POP! 
    POP! 
    POP!" 

    Verse 4
    The 
    first 
    thing 
    they 
    learned, 

    was 
    how 
    to plant 
    that 
    carbine 
    in the 
    earth 

    Prop 
    that 
    helmet 
    on 
    the stock, 

    hang 
    them 
    dog 
    tags 
    from 
    the lock 

    Say 
    your 
    prayers 
    and 
    mark 
    the spot 

    Where 
    the body's 
    in
    terred 
    then 
    turn, 

    taciturn 

    Verse 5
    And 
    talk 
    that 
    walk, 
    taste 
    that 
    salt 

    Sprinkle 
    a little 
    bit 
    of lye 
    in 
    the earth, 

    don't 
    cry 
    when 
    it hurts 

    'Cause 
    you ain't 
    done 
    yet 
    son, 

    spill 
    a little 
    bit 
    more 
    blood 

    Everybody 
    knows 
    what 
    comes 

    from 
    the warm 
    wet 
    red 
    mud 

    Best 
    I believe, 

    when 
    you fall 
    to your 
    knees 

    You're 
    gonna cry, 

    you'll 
    pray 
    for 
    peace 

    And they gonna 
    plant 
    them seeds 

    of the 
    winter 
    wheat 

    And the 
    Georgia 
    peach 
    watered 

    up 
    with 
    your 
    red 
    rum 

    Verse 6
    Every 
    song 
    I 
    sing 
    cuts 
    a 
    little 
    bit 
    more 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    connect 
    the 

    copper 
    cast 
    with 
    the mold 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    guess, 

    you 
    could 
    never 
    guess 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    guess 
    where 
    I 
    come 
    from, 

    no 

    Verse 7
    Every 
    mile 
    I 
    drive, 
    further 
    down 
    this 
    road 

    Tears 
    a 
    little 
    more 
    off 
    of 
    my 
    bones 

    And 
    you 
    could 
    never 
    guess, 

    you 
    could 
    never 
    guess 

    You 
    could 
    never 
    guess 
    where 
    I 
    come 
    from, 
    no 

    Verse 8
    I 
    know 
    he 
    would've 
    loved 
    this, 

    but 
    he 
    had 
    to die 
    to give 
    it 

    I melted 
    down 
    his 
    musket, 

    turned 
    it to 
    a 
    tool 

    Tilling 
    like 
    a fool 
    to 
    see 

    where 
    his 
    blood 
    went 

    See 
    if 
    I can 
    grow 
    something 

    beautiful 
    above 
    it 

    Verse 9
    Standing 
    guard 
    above 
    my 
    garden 

    till 
    the 
    seeds 
    take 
    root 

    Taking 
    shade 
    under 
    the 
    trees 

    with 
    the 
    sweet 
    grapefruit 

    I'll 
    take 
    my 
    yield 
    and his 
    old 

    boots 
    till 
    the 
    leaves 
    shake 
    loose 

    I 
    will 
    die 
    in 
    these 
    fields, 

    but 
    my 
    seeds 
    will 
    move 

    Verse 10
    The 
    ox 
    and 
    yoke 
    know 
    every 

    note 
    I 
    hum 

    Written 
    in 
    the 
    grass 
    by 
    the 
    midday 
    sun 

    The 
    lamp 
    lit 
    ahead 
    of 
    me 
    with 

    the 
    earth 
    between 
    my 
    feet 

    I'll 
    sing 
    a 
    song 
    into 
    the 
    breeze, 

    let 
    it 
    fold 
    the 
    wheat 

    Verse 11
    Every

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      "

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
