Steve Earle

Steve Earle - No. 29 guitar chord

(C) I was born and raised here,

This town's my town

(G) Everybody knows my (C) name

But (C) ever since the glass plant

Closed down things round

(G) Here ain't ever been the (C) same

Well (F) I got me a good job

Alright, some nights

(C) Take me to a (G) nother (C) time (walk down bass)

(G) Back when I was number twenty (C) nine

I was pretty good then

Don't you know, watch him go

Buddy I could really fly

Everyone in town came

Hip flasks, horn blasts

Any autumn Friday night

Sally yelled her heart out

Push em back, way back

I was hers and she was mine

Back when I was number 29

We were playing Smithville

Big boys, farm boys

Second down and four to go

Bubba brought the play in

Good call, my ball

Now they're gonna see a show

But Bubba let his man go

I cut back, heard it crack

It still hurts me but I don't mind

Reminds me I was number 29

Now I go to the ballgames,

Cold nights, half pints

Friday nights I'm always here

We got a pretty good team

Good boys, strong boys

District champs the last 3 years

Got a little tailback

Pretty slick, real quick

I take him for a steak sometimes

Nowadays he's number 29

(F) I don't follow rainbows

Big dreams, brass rings

(C) I've already (G) captured (C) mine (walk down bass)

(G) Back when I was number 2(C)9
