[Verse 1]
D A(??) G(??) D(?????) A G D D
They used to swim down the river where the willows grow
D A(??) G(??) D(?????) A G D D
But no one even drives through this town no more
[Verse 2]
G A
They drive past the fueling station God knows where
D A
With the wind like fingers running through their hair
G A(?????) G A
Oh, always me,........I'm a smalltown refugee
[Verse 1]

Well I never had a job 'cause I couldn't care less
D A(??) G(??) D(?????) A G D D
I could never learn to toe the company line, I guess

Now no one hangs around by the barber shop
D A
I'm still hanging 'round and I'm a little mixed up
G A(?????) G A
Oh, always me,...... just a smalltown refugee
[Chorus]

Well I got me a car
G A
You know she's holding me up-uh-uh-uh
A D
She won't go far
G A
But she'll go far enoooooooo-uh-uh-ugh
A D
You ought to hear her motor whine
G A
Down Highway thirty-ooooone-uh-uh-un
A D
You know it's just about time
G A
For me to get up and ruuuun-uh-uh-un
A D
I gotta get up and run

D A(??) G(??) D(?????) A G D D
And I can see by the mirror that I'm not my best
G A
I'd better smarten up before I get too old
D A
Put some strings on my guitar and hit the road
G A(?????) G A
Oh, always me,......to die a smalltown refugee

You know it's just about time

For me to get up and ruuuun-uh-uh-un
A D
I gotta get up and run
