I was [A]raised in the south of Texas.
[A]When I was young I was bold and restless.
I had a [E]girlfriend she was breathless,and we would [D]party down on Blacktree [A]Road.
Now Suzy [A]Lee was young and sexy.
And [A]just one look from her eyes would hex me.
But in the [E]moonlight she'd reject me,and thats the [D]way it was on Blacktree [A]Road.
On Blacktree [D]Road I learned to sing and dance.
On Blacktree [A]Road I fought and took a stance.
On Blacktree [D]Road I burned but I took a chance the [E]same.
I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.
For the [E]good times that I'm glad I had while [D]growing up on Blacktree [A]Road

Now me and my [A]best friend Billy Porter,
[A]Would hop in my van and go across the border.
A box of [E]whiskey was the order,so we could [D]party down on Blacktree [A]Road.
Now Billy [A]Porter was good at drinkin,
[A]but Billy weren't really to good at thinkin.
He drove a [E]beat up rusty Lincoln and that's the [D]way it was on Blacktree [A]Road.
On Blacktree [D]Road I learned to sing and dance.
On Blacktree [A]Road I fought and took a stance.
On Blacktree [D]Road I burned but I took a chance the [E]same.
I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.

[D]PARTY.............[A]PARTY.............[D]PARTY........all night [E]long.
[D]PARTY.............[A]PARTY
We used to [E]drink so hard we could hardly stand.
We used to [E]sing so loud like a big rock band.
And when the [E7]sun come we'd do it all aga-a-a-a-a-in.
No I wouldn't [A]trade a million dollars for the backseats and the hollers.
For the [E]good times that I'm glad I had while [D]growing up on Blacktree [A]Road.
