Biography:
Jonny "Corndawg" Fritz (known now as Jonny Fritz) is a country singer, not a singer-songwriter. Born in Montana, raised in rural Virginia, Fritz has been touring on his motorcycle since he dropped out of school in 2001. He's played shows in every U.S. state, Canada and eleven European countries, Australia, Argentina and India. But you won't find him on CMT. His music is more in the vein of that obscure '70s gay country that housewives would discover on a Bear Family reissue in twenty years.

This is my first tab. I dont think this song is even on an album, but its one of
my faves. I just figured it out from watching him play it, Im sure its not spot on
but I did my best.
Intro: G D D D7 G
G
Well I bet youre surprised to see me right now
D
I bet you didnt think that I would remember how
Bet you thought I missed you cause the fields aint plowed
D7 G
And the weeds covered up the sign
C
Hey well aint it your birthday and why arent you smiling?
G D
I just drove 250 miles In the middle of the night
D7 G
On an empty tank, dodging deer along the way
C
On to central Virginia, Moonlight Byway
G
Brought to you by this small-town always
D D7 G
Thought I could come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
Why in the world are you blocking the doorway
I wanna come inside and sing happy birthday
Say hi to your momma, eat a piece of cake
And tell your little brother dirty jokes
I wanna like to everybody bout the star I am Big city life that Im livin
All of the money that theyre trying to give me
Just to sign a couple compact discs
Hey hey well aint it your birthday, then why arent you smiling?
I just drove 250 miles in the middle of the night, on an empty tank
Dodging deer along the way
On to central Virginia, moonlight byway
Brought to you by a small-town always thought I could
Come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
Is it one of those times when you think I should back down
Just let it go instead of slamming my foot down
Bow my head at the feet of the Queen, instead of taking out a prison guard
Keeping inside all the things that Im feeling
Never leading anybody into believing, my attitude and I are making a deal
And Im trying to better myself
Hey hey well aint it your birthday, then why arent you smiling?
I just drove 250 miles in the middle of the night, on an empty tank
Dodging deer along the way
On to central Virginia, moonlight byway
Brought to you by a small-town always thought I could
Come home to, oh but I guess I was wrong
