John Cougar Mellencamp
[Intro] 
C G C G C G F C G F C G 

[Verse 1]
  C                   G             
A million young poets screamin' out their words
    C                          G            
To a world full of people, just living' to be heard
C                               G           
Future generations ridin' on the highways that we built
  F                      G  
I hope they have a better understanding.

[Chorus]
         C                     G

Just to tell our souls we're still the young lions.

By future generations ridin' on the highways that we built.

Maybe they'll have a better understanding.
