Small Town Blues
(written by J.Bluth)
Em C G D
I grew up in a small town out in the country
Em C G B7
I never had much and I was often hungry
Em C G D
My dad he died young and I had to be strong
Em C G B7
But I was a child that didn’t get along
Em C G D
I tried to get up but I always fell down
Em C G B7
This twisted society has dragged me around
Em C G D
You made me the man that I am today
Em C G B7
But I never wanted to live my life this way
Em C G D
I had a bad reputation that never burned out
Em C G B7
And the teachers in school they had no doubt
Em C G D
As they said I’m a looser and I won’t get that far
Em C G B7
And so I dropped out of school and played my guitar
Em C G D
I tried to get up but I always fell down
Em C G B7
This twisted society has dragged me around
Em C G D
You made me the man that I am today
Em C G B7
But I never wanted to live my life this way
