[Intro] (x4)
[Esus4] [Asus4]
[VERSE]
You ride your [Esus4]John D[Asus4]eere down to [Esus4]the po[Asus4]nd
Just to watch [Esus4]me str[Asus4]uggle along. [Esus4] [Asus4]
You say you go[Esus4]t your[Asus4] daddy's seed[Esus4] in yo[Asus4]u
And you think you're b[Esus4]ored w[Asus4]ith anything there is to do with [Esus4]me. [Asus4]
You wipe your [Esus4]hands [Asus4]across your b[Esus4]are ch[Asus4]est
And rub your f[Esus4]ingers[Asus4] through your[Esus4] crew [Asus4]cut hair.
"Expelled from sc[Esus4]hool,"[Asus4] you tell me wit[Esus4]h a gr[Asus4]in,
"I copped a fe[Esus4]el fro[Asus4]m an ex-girlf[Esus4]riend.[Asus4]"
I know you [Esus4]want t[Asus4]o break the r[Esus4]ules- [Asus4]
We were m[Esus4]ade by[Asus4] nature's foo[Esus4]ls. [Asus4]
And so you r[Esus4]ide al[Asus4]l day long, all by yo[Esus4]urself[Asus4] ,
'Til you feel [Esus4]strong[Asus4] -
[CHORUS]
Strong enough to[Esus4] stay [Asus4]
Strong enough to[Esus4] be [Asus4]
Standing in the [Esus4]way [Asus4]
Of everything I [Esus4]see. [Asus4]
[VERSE]
You wanna k[Esus4]now wh[Asus4]y I had to g[Esus4]o [Asus4]
Down to the [Esus4]baseba[Asus4]ll park to see you blo[Esus4]w it. [Asus4]
All the ball[Esus4]s just[Asus4] fall from your hands[Esus4] , [Asus4]
And your dad[Esus4]dy ask[Asus4]s me, "When is he gon[Esus4]na be [Asus4]a man?"
I know you w[Esus4]ant to[Asus4] change the truth-[Esus4] [Asus4]
We were m[Esus4]ade by[Asus4] nature's fool[Esus4]s. [Asus4]
So you ride [Esus4]all ni[Asus4]ght long
With your b[E]oys in those muscle [Esus4]cars. [Asus4]
And you go[Esus4] down [Asus4]to the cit[Esus4]y [Asus4]
And laugh at the fa[E]ggots
Until the gi[Esus4]rls lo[Asus4]ok pretty and until you [Esus4]feel s[Asus4]trong-
[CHORUS]
Strong enough to[Esus4] stay [Asus4]
Strong enough to[Esus4] be [Asus4]
Standing in the [Esus4]way [Asus4]
Of everything I [Esus4]see. [Asus4]
[VERSE]
I'm just a m[Esus4]agnet [Asus4]for the rural faggots[Esus4] . [Asus4]
They come an[Esus4]d knoc[Asus4]k on my doo[Esus4]r [Asus4]
Just to find[Esus4] they'[Asus4]re running out of tim[Esus4]e [Asus4]
To figure ou[Esus4]t what[Asus4] they come here for[Esus4] . [Asus4]
I know you w[Esus4]ant to[Asus4] know the truth[Esus4] [Asus4]
And I'm the d[E]yke who will give it to yo[Esus4]u.
[BRIDGE]
By this [Esus4]time next year
You'll k[Esus4]now you're queer
[E]It'll all be okay
[E]It'll all be clear
And you'll [Esus4]run away from home
But [Esus4]not to be alone
[E]And you'll go down to the city
[E]Where the boys are pretty
[OUTRO]
Strong enough to[Esus4] be [Asus4]
Standing in the [Esus4]way [Asus4]
Of everything I [Esus4]see. [Asus4]
A country boy w[Esus4]ho's g[Asus4]ay
