Verse 1 

                  D                    Em 
Not a whole lot going on, a small town Friday night 
                G                               D 
Revving up at a red light, on your mark get set go 
                     D 
Past a mom and pop restaurant 
                  Em 
Same four trucks parked out front 
                        G 
I guess you gotta make your own fun 
                                    D 
When you're stuck in a place this slow 

         A                    Bm 
There's only two means of salvation 
        G                D 
around here that seem to work 
G                       Gsus2 
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival 


          D                                       Em 
When you don't seem to run on either side of the fence 

People act like you don't make sense 
       G 
These big town dreams that I've been chasing 
     D 
Will never come true if I wind up staying 

And I don't want to fall in, the same rut 
Em                                     G 
That everybody here seems to be stuck in now 
             Bm 
Why do I hang around 
           G       A                   D 
In this church pew or bar stool kind of town 

Intro: D Em (2x) 

Verse 2 
                 D                            Em   
I'm like that AM station, that never comes in right 
                       G 
Till you pass the city limit sign,  
                                 D 
that's the only time it all gets clear 
                                     Em 
Well it's crystal clear that I, just need to find 
                       G 
A place where there is no lines 
                              D 
And nothing like it is around here 

A                  Bm 
Someplace where it don't feel like this 
G              D 
world revolves around 
G                     Gsus2 
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival 

          D                                       Em

Why do I hang around 
           G       A                   D 
In this church pew or bar stool kind of town

A                 Bm 
Here it sometimes feels just like this 
G                D 
world revolves around 
G                    Gsus2 
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival
