Words and Music by Steve Andrews<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I’ve [C] never been to New York [F] City.<\/span>
\nI’d have no [D] idea what to do, or where to [G] go.<\/span>
\nAll I’ve [C] seen is [F] Arizona.<\/span>
\nAnd an [D] old small town back [G] east in [C] Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everybody [C] tells me where they’ve been around this [F] country.<\/span>
\nFrom the [D] hills down south to the tallest town high-[G]-rise.<\/span>
\nWell this [C] city boys’s been closed up every [F] evening.<\/span>
\nAnd it’s [D] just about time I’ve [G] opened up my [C] eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

CHORUS:<\/span>
\nI’m gonna [F] drive on down that highway from post to [C] post.<\/span>
\nTill I [G] see all 50 states from coast to [C] coast.<\/span>
\nThis [F] life I’ve always dreamed of living in the [C] most.<\/span>
\nIs [D] being set free to [G] sew my Wild [C] Oats.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I’ve [C] never been to Houston [F] Texas.<\/span>
\nLike old [D] Jerry Reed truckin Eastbound and [G] Down<\/span>
\n(BILL echo Eastbound and Down)<\/span>
\n[C] Someday (when I’m 40) maybe I could tell my [F] story<\/span>
\nof [D] how I’ve strayed [G] around from town to [C] town.<\/span><\/p>\n

CHORUS<\/span><\/p>\n

[F] You don’t set me free, so let’s make a [C] toast<\/span>
\nHere’s to [D] me and [G] sowin’ my wild [C] Oats.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
