  Cadd9      G/B      Am       G/B

C
I was born and raised here, this town's my town
G                  C
Everybody knows my name
C
But ever since the glass plant closed down
              G                         C
Things around here ain't never been the same
      F
I got me a good job all right, but some nights
C          G       C
Take me to another time
G                            C
Back when I was number twenty-nine

C
I was pretty good then, don't you know? Watch him go
G                     C
Buddy, I could really fly
C
Everyone in town came, hip flasks, horn blasts
    G             C
Any autumn Friday night
F
Sally yelled her heart out "push 'em back, way back"
C              G       C
I was hers and she was mine
G                            C
Back when I was number twenty-nine

C
We was playing Smithville, big boys, farm boys
G                       C
Second down and four to go
C
Bubba brought the play in, good call, my ball
G                          C
Now they're going to see a show
    F
But Bubba let his man go, I cut back, heard it crack
C                      G       C
It still hurts me, but I don't mind
G                             C
Reminds me I was number twenty-nine

C
Now, I go to the ballgames, cold nights, half pints
G                         C
Friday nights, I'm always here
C
We got a pretty good team, good boys, strong boys
  G                            C
District champs the last three years
   F
We got a little tailback, he's pretty quick, he's real slick
C                G         C
I take him for a steak sometimes
G                          C
Nowadays he's number twenty-nine

F
I don't follow rainbows, big dreams, brass rings
C            G        C
I've already captured mine
G                            C
Back when I was number twenty-nine
