[Verse 1]
C A#
The woman next door has gone to the PTA
C A#
And stopped to see her best friend's husband on the way
D#
The folks down the street have a different faith

So everybody's putting them down
Dm C A#
Do you believe this town?
[Verse 2]

Deacon Jones preaches brotherly love every Sunday

To keep the economy sound
Dm C A#
Do you believe this town?
[Bridge 1]
D# D#m
Do you believe they voted this town dry?
D# C
Well you won't believe it when I tell you why
A#
The mayor and his cousin and the chief of police

Have got the bootlegging all nailed down
Dm C A#
Do you believe this town?

Dm C A#
[Bridge 2]
D# D#m
Do you believe they burned a house down yesterday

You won't believe the reason that they gave

If the folks who lived there had a known their place
D# D#m
They could still be hanging around
Dm C A#
Do you believe this town?
Dm C A#
Do you believe this town?
