Raise the Can

INTRO
VERSE
Cornfields blowin’ in the wind
Windows down, the sunset’s sinking in
‘Bout another hundred miles
Till I reach that county line
That takes me back to yesterday where
Tomorrow will never change
Just a simple life and that’s ok
In Indiana, USA

CHORUS
So raise the can I’m coming home
My checkered flag is that front porch
Safest place I’ve ever known
On the other side of that red door
Where life takes a back road to what matters most
And saves my soul
Raise the can I’m coming home

VERSE
‘Cause this old boy’s about outta gas
Life in the fast lane’s way too fast
And I’ve got the scars to prove
This old world runs over you
Just when you think you’re in control
You realize you’re not at all
Everybody’s bound to stall
But here’s my comeback from the fall

(Repeat Chorus)
(Short Instrumental)

BRIDGE
Can’t wait to kiss the bricks
‘Cause this old dog is outta tricks

(Repeat Chorus/breakdown first half/Tag out)
