[Verse]
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
You ride your John Deere down to the pond
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
Just to watch me struggle along.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
"Expelled from school," you tell me with a grin,
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
"I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend."
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
I know you want to break the rules-
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
Esus4 Asus4
'Til you feel strong-
[Chorus]
Esus4 Asus4
Strong enough to stay
Esus4 Asus4
Strong enough to be
Esus4 Asus4
Standing in the way
Esus4 Asus4
Of everything I see.
[Verse]
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
You wanna know why I had to go
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
All the balls just fall from your hands,
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
And your daddy asks me, "When is he gonna be a man?"
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
I know you want to change the truth-
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
We were made by nature's fools.
Esus4 Asus4
So you ride all night long
E Esus4 Asus4
With your boys in those muscle cars.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
And you go down to the city
E
And laugh at the faggots
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
They come and knock on my door
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
Just to find they're running out of time
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
To figure out what they come here for.
Esus4 Asus4 Esus4 Asus4
I know you want to know the truth
E Esus4
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
[Bridge]
Esus4
By this time next year
Esus4
You'll know you're queer
E
It'll all be okay
E
It'll all be clear
Esus4
And you'll run away from home
Esus4
But not to be alone
E
And you'll go down to the city
E
Where the boys are pretty
[Outro]
Esus4 Asus4
Strong enough to be
Esus4 Asus4
Standing in the way
Esus4 Asus4
Of everything I see.
Esus4 Asus4
A country boy who's gay
