[Intro]
D Em D Em
D Em
Not a whole lot goin' on, small town Friday night
G D
Revin' up at a red light on your mark, get set, go
Em
Passin' mom and pop restaurants, seein' four trucks parked out front
G D
Guess you gotta make your own fun when you're stuck in a place this slow
A Bm G D
There's only two means of sal vation around here that seem to work
G A
Whiskey or the Bible, shot glass or a revival
[Chorus]
D Bm A Em
When you don't seem to run on ei ther side of the fence
People act like you don't make sense
G
These big town dreams that I've been chasin'
D Bm A D Em A
Will never come true if I wind up stayin'
D Bm A F#m
And I don't want to fall in the same rut
Em F#m G
That everybody here seems to be stuck in now
Em G A D
Why do I hang around in this church pew or barstool kinda town
[Inst]
Em F#m Em
D Em
I'm like that A.M. station that never comes in right
G D
Till you pass the city limit sign that's the only time it all gets clear
Em
It's crystal clear that I just need to find
G D
A place where this is no lines nothin' like it is around here
A Bm G D
Someplace where it don't feel like this world revolves around
G A
Whiskey or the Bible, shot glass or a revival
[Repeat Chorus]
[Inst]
Em G D
A Bm G D
Here it sometimes feels just like this world revolves around
G A
Whiskey or the Bible, shot glass or a revival
D Bm A Em
When you don't seem to run on ei ther side of the fence
People act like you don't make sense
G
These big town dreams that I've been chasin'
D Bm A D Em A
Will never come true if I wind up stayin'
D Bm A F#m
And I don't want to fall in the same rut
Em F#m G
That everybody here seems to be stuck in now
Em G A Bm
Why do I hang around in this church pew or barstool kinda town
Em F#m G A D
I need to get out of this church pew or barstool kinda town
[Outro]
Em F#m Em D
