[Verse]
I was raised on a Kansas farm
C G C
where corn and soybean grow
C
How my family came to be there's
G
something no one seemed to know
F G Am
I played quarterback in high school,
C F
my mom baked apple pie
F C G
Each year we'd fly the stars and stripes
Am G C
on the fourth day of July
C
My folks never said much
C G C
but “Did you do your chores today”
C
Then again from time to time
G
"G-d bless the USA"
F G Am
I grew into a man
C F
with my uncomplicated life
F C G
And asked the girl from down the road,
Am G C
Caroline, to be my wife
[Chorus]
F Bb F
I was a country boy
C
living the all American dream
G
Hard at work, drinking hard,
F C
not much in between.
F Bb F
Never gave much thought to matters
G Am
of the spirit or the soul
F C
Wouldn't trade my way of life
G C
for a bushel full of gold.
C
But one night in the attic
C G C
in an old and dusty crate
C
I found great-grandpa's diary,
G
‘til dawn I read it straight.
F G Am
Turns out he fled from Russia
C F
back in 18--93
F C G
The oldest child to my surprise
Am G C
of a Jewish family.
