[Verse 2]
Eb
Looka there, looka 
in my hand
The grandbaby of a 
moonshine man
Gadsden, Alabama
Got folk down in 
Absus4
Galveston, 
rooted in Louisiana
Eb
Used to say I spoke 
too country
Ab                      
And the rejection came, 
Eb
said I wasn\'t country \'
nough
Said I wouldn\'t saddle 
Ab
up, but
   Eb
If that ain\'t country, 
tell me what is?
Plant my bare feet on 
solid ground for years
They don\'t, don\'t know 
                  Ab/Eb
how hard I had to fight 
for this
       Eb
When I sang my song

[Outro]
(When I sang the 
song of Abraham)
(When the angels 
guide and take my
 hand)
Ab
(Oh, no)
Eb
Goodbye to what has 
been
  Ab     Eb         
A pretty house that 
F        Bb
we never settled in
Eb
A funeral for fair-
weather friends
  Ab     Eb      F      
I am the one to cleanse 
         Ab       Bb
me of my Father\'s sins
Ab       G     Cm
