[Verse 1]
D                        G
Lovesick, homesick, sick of the road,
   D
too
          Bm                             A        D
There's a reason all them boys back when sang the blues
                                  G          D
And please don't ask me how these last years went
Mama,
  Bm                        A
I made a million dollars on accident
D                        G           D
 I was supposed to die a military man
      Bm                 A               D
Chest out too far with a drink in my hand
                         G               D
But I got folks who like hearing me rhyme
            Bm
I think the thunder on the metal roof,
A           D
all the time

[Verse 2]
                           G             D
Why's everyone acting like they ain't human
        Bm                              A       D
Take me back to green grass and knowin' what I's doin
                           G         D
'Cause I just need a friend right now
Bm                         A          D
Sittin' close until the daylight's out
It ain't been my week,
        G       D
it ain't been my year
      Bm                   A            D
And I hate to admit I just need you here

[Chorus]
So close your eyes,
G                           D
 do you think of when you's younger?
                   A
Won't you rest your mind?
                        Bm
Smell that northern thunder
So close your eyes,
G                     D
 I pray you see those memories
                 A                                Bm
The way this life blackens all the things you used  to be

[Break]
So close your eyes,
G                           D
 do you think of when you's younger?
                  A                            Bm
And rest your mind and smell that northern thunder
                          G                       D
Won't you close your eyes? Think of what this used to be
                 A                            Bm
The way this life blackens all your younger memories

[Outro]
