G5              C5    G5
Joey's arm has two tattoos
G5                      C5       G5
The stars and bars and "born to lose"
D5                   C5        G5
With glassy eyes he waits for rain
        D5                  C5      G5
Says it reminds him of his wedding day

G5                                     C5     G5 
And when you drive through Cumberland in the dark
G5                               C5      G5
And you watch the woods and you see the sparks
D5                        C5       G5 
Roll down the window and hear the sound
   D5                C5       
of broken glass and coming down

CHORUS
G5                 D5         G5             C5
And the dirt underneath the methadone and concrete
    G5             D5         C5
Has gotta be more than dust bones
           G5                 D5
'Cause the south ain't gonna rise again
         G5                C5
but we're holding out for Jesus
   E5          D5         C5
or so they say on AM radio

G5 C5 G5 C5 G5

G5                        C5        G5
When you don't fit in at church or bars
G5                         C5       G5
you bite your lip and you hide the scars
D5                C5     G5
Pass the freeway out of town
    D5                C5
for broken glass and coming down

REPEAT CHORUS

G5                     D5      C5
Won't someone turn on AM radio?

G5 C5 G5 C5 G5
D5 C5 G5
D5 C5

G5              C5    G5
Joey's arm has two tattoos
G5                      C5       G5
The stars and bars and "born to lose"
D5                   C5        G5
With glassy eyes he waits for rain
        D5                  C5      G5
Says it reminds him of his wedding day
