[Verse 1]
D
  What you see is an exit sign
     G                         D
I see a road that goes back in time
A
To high school glory and all of those stories
 G                      D
I stretch from time to time


[Verse 2]

What you see is an old scoreboard
       G                   D
I see goin' for it on fourth
       A
Yeah, it's just a game, but small town fame
      G                      D
Still buys me a beer and more


[Chorus]
       G
What I see
                                               D
Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity
          G
And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones
                    D
That's gonna take me home
         A
Where I belong


[Post-Chorus]
               D
Pride grows strong and love runs deep

Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree
          Bm
Can't nobody take that from me
               G
See what you want, but this is what I see


D   G   D


[Verse 3]

What you see is a courthouse clock
       G                       D
I see me wishin' time would stop
                   A
'Cause something good just might
                            G            D
Happen past midnight in a Sonic parking lot


[Verse 4]

What you see is a real sharp curve
          G                 D
I see a real hard lesson learned
           A
I walked away from that without the scratches
  G              D
Lord knows I deserved


[Chorus]
               G
'Cause what I see
                                               D
Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity
            G
And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones
                     D
That's gonna take me home
           A
Where I belong


[Post-Chorus]
               D
Pride grows strong and love runs deep

Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree
          Bm
Can't nobody take that from me
                    G
See what you want, but this is what I see

[Verse 5]
          D
What you see are some stars and stripes

I see boys that ain't afraid to fight
         A
For the red, white and blue, so me and you
      G                D
Can live this kind of life


[Chorus]
                 G
'Cause what I see
                                                 D
Is a little piece of heaven this side of eternity
           G
And all I know

Are these two-lane roads are the ones
                      D
That's gonna take me home
           A
Where I belong


[Post-Chorus]
               D
Pride grows strong and love runs deep
                  A
Deeper than the roots of an old oak tree
         Bm
Can't nobody take that from me
                  G                                   D   G
See what you want, see what you want, this is what I see
                D        G          D
Oh, it's what I see, Yeah what I see
