G                             D            G
There's an Elvis movie on the marquee sign
C           G             D       G
We've all seen at least three times
                   D              G
Everybody's broke Bobby's got a buck
                C          G           D         G
To put a dollar's worth of gas in his pickup truck

C
We're goin' ninety miles an hour down a dead end road
G                    D                  Em
What's the hurry son where're you gonna go
C                       G     D                 G
We're gonna howl at the moon shoot out the light
C             G   D        G
It's a small town Saturday night 
C             G   D        G

 G                            D         G
Lucy's got her lipstick on a little too bright
C               G         D             G
Bobby's gettin' drunk and lookin' for a fight
                         D                 G
Liquor on his breath and trouble on his mind
 C                 G     D          G
And Lucy's just a kid along for the ride

C
Got a six-pack of beer and a bottle of wine
G                    D           Em
Gotta be bad just to have a good time
C             G                 D               G
They're gonna howl at the moon shoot out the light
C              G   D           G

Bobby told Lucy the world ain't round
C          G            D      G
Drops off sharp at the edge of town
                   D              G
Lucy you know the world must be flat
 C                       G        D          G
Cause when people leave town they never come back

C
They go ninety miles an hour to the city limit sign
G                                      D            Em
Put the pedal to the metal ‘fore their change their mind
C                G    D               G
They howl at the moon shoot out the light
C             G    D          G
It's a small town Saturday night
C                G    D              Em
