[Intro]

[Verse]
       D                                       Am
I was there when Shooter Jennings rewound the sound like a cassette
G C                             G
  I watched Jamey Johnson cut (You) "Can't Cash My Checks"
           D                            A
Back then Rowdy Jason Cope was running shine sunset to vine
         C                               G
Picking songs with Leroy Powell, making redneck isms rhyme
 
             D                                 A
I guess now everyone knows Cousin Dave but he been around awhile
         C                                  G
Proving simple truths and music, they just don't go out of style
 
              D                                        Am
It's hard to tell and when you're in it sometimes the moment's too profound
          C
But if I had to bet my money
 
             G                    D   Am
That's when country came back to town
 
 
[Verse]
             D                             A
Right after that I moved to Nashville and most the Broadways stars
       C                        G
Wanted to be Cody Canada, Ryan Bingham or Hayes Carll
                 D                              A
They seemed too cautious to commit, so they surrendered to the game
            C                           G
But nobody sang like Brandi Carlile or wrote like Nikki Lane
 
                    D                     Am
But you couldn't deny that it was lost or how it would be found
          C
But when Sturgill climbed High Top Mountain
 G                    D   D
Country came back to town
 
 
[Chorus]
            C               G                    D
Beyond the pickups and the backroads, you could almost hear it play
               C             G                   D
Though it was softer than a whisper through the pines
      C            G          D
Some say it never left, some say that it got saved
                C              G            D
Some say, like everything, it changes over time
 
      C                             G
Well all I know for certain is I'm glad I was around
 
      C      G              D
When country  came back to town
          Am     G              D
Oh, when country  came back to town
 
 
[Verse]
          D                         A
As the divide grew even greater between commerce and art
       C                             G
Folks like Miranda Lambert kept the beat inside its heart
        D                               A
Right along with Chris and Morgane and Kacey Musgraves too
               C                             G
What took the world so long to catch on, for us was nothing new
 
        D                                 Am
By the time the torch was passed and the hatchet was laid down
       C
Music Row had nearly burned to ash
 
      G                    D   D
When country came back to town
 
 
[Chorus]
            C               G                    D
Beyond the pickups and the backroads, you could almost hear it play
               C             G                   D
Though it was softer than a whisper through the pines
      C            G          D
Some say it never left, some say that it got saved
                C              G            D
Some say, like everything, it changes over time
 
      C                             G
Well all I know for certain is I'm glad I was around
 
      C      G              D
When country  came back to town
          Am     G              D
Oh, when country  came back to town
 
 
[Instrumental/Solo]

[Verse]
             D                               A
Now here we are eighteen years later with a list a mile long
               C                                         G
Of names like Childers, Jinks, Price, and Whitey, Hood, Shook, Cook, Cauthen and Combs
 
                 D                                      A
Lord knows it's hard to name them all, but hell, right off the top of my head
         C                                 G
Isbell, Eady, Patton, Moonpies, Turnpike, Colter, and Crockett
 
              D                                       Am
And won't be stopping, no name dropping till history books echo the sound
            C                              G
Of all the folks who saddled up and drove country
 
         D    Am
Back to town
             D   Am G D
Oh, back to town
