Randy Houser, "Route 3 Box 250 D"
(intro)
D
(verse)
D
I'd like to say it was perfect
D
Growing up was a fairytale
D
But Hollywood don't make no movies
D G
About a house up on wheels down a dirt road, Mississippi
D
Tucked back in the trees
A D
Route 3 Box 250 D
(verse)
D
Well the man my mama married
D
Had a mean streak in his blood
D
And when he took to drinking
D
He'd take it out on us
D G
And I could hear my mama crying
D
That made it hard to sleep
A D
Route 3 Box 250 D
(chorus)
G C G
That's where I became a man
D
Long before my time
G C G
And since I left I ain't been back
A
But I go back in my mind
(verse)
D
Thank God for Buford Bailey
D
He had a pond he'd let me fish
D
That's where I'd run off to
D
Every chance I'd get
G
And I would pray that God was listening
D
And He'd come rescue me
A D

Then one day, my uncle pulled up in a pickup truck
F#m Em
Loaded up everything
F#m A
Wasn't much but it was everything

I'd like to say it was perfect

Growing up was a fairytale

Thats what made me "me"
