Capo IV
G Cadd9 G
There's a little dive on a dead-end road
D G
Called the Cross-Eyed Cricket Waterin' Hole
Cadd9 G
Where you can hear the sound of a steel guitar
D G
An' get loud an' rowdy with PBR
D Cadd9
But at the top of every hour, man, you can hear a pin drop
D Cadd9
As ol' Jack drops a quarter an' plays Merle on that jukebox, an' we stop
Chorus:
G
An' tip our hats
D Cadd9 G D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
G
They say country's fadin'
D Cadd9 G D
But we still wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9 G A
An' when it's time to go, you know you're welcome back
Cadd9 D G
Where the people pledge allegiance to the Hag
G Cadd9 G
When the weekend comes an' the weather's clear
D G D
There's a high spot fifteen miles from here
Cadd9 G
Where you can always find a few dusty trucks
Cadd9 D G
With the windows down an' the radio up
D Cadd9
We sit there poppin' tops, shootin' bull an' singin' songs
D Cadd9
But you can bet your boots that when Haggard comes on
(Repeat Chorus)
G Cadd9 G
One of these days when my time has come
D G
You can take me back to where I'm from
Cadd9 G
Put me on a westbound train
D G
An' ship me off in the pourin' rain
D Cadd9
Don't cry for me when I'm gone
D Cadd9
Just put a quarter in the jukebox an' sing me back home
G
An' tip our hats
D Cadd9 G D
An' raise our glasses of cold, cold beer
G
They say country's fadin'
D Cadd9 G D
But just keep wavin' that flag around here
Cadd9 G A
An' I know, it'll keep on comin' back
Cadd9 D
Long as people pledge allegiance
Em A
Where folks still pledge allegiance
Cadd9 D G
I pledge allegiance to the Hag
