[Intro]
C G Am (4x)
[Verse 1]
C G Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
C G Am
When I could’ve driven straight through
C G Am
But the call from the exit was loud
C G Am
And I gave in too proud to be scared by the boo
C G Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
C G Am
Oooh oooh oooh
[Verse 2]
C G Am
Where they tore down the high school last year
C G Am
And the line between fiction and fact isn’t clear
C G Am
Someone told me old Dooley was hung on the hill
C G Am
You can’t always believe what you hear
C G Am
They tore down the high school last year
C G Am
Oooh oooh oooh
C G Am
Oooh oooh oooh
[Verse 3]
C G Am
I’ve always had reason to roam
C G Am
If we’d ever met then, you would’ve known
C G Am
But my plan for this trip was in three, stand up, smile
C G Am
And leave Carolina alone
C G Am
Leave Carolina alone
[Verse 4]
C G Am
But I stopped in Statesville for you

When I should’ve driven straight through
C G Am
But the call from the exit was loud
C G Am
And I gave in too proud to be scared by the boo
C G Am C G Am
I stopped in Statesville for you
