VERSE 1

G                                      		Em7
In a town where what you know, Don't make you who you are
C		G		     	D
It all comes down the the car you drive
G				   Em7
Whether your a mustang, or a chevorlet man
C		G			D
If you don't know now you better start chosen' your side
G					Em7
'Cus every friday night, I take her up town 
C		G			D
And line her up on South scale street
G					Em7	
It looks like a parade, on Independence day
C		G			D
With your homecoming bride in the passenger seat

CHORUS
Cadd9			    D
We were too young to know, what this town had in store 
G		D  		   Cadd9
And we were too much in love to give a god damn 

And with expectations high, its always do or die

It seems like our fate's already been sealed
Em7  D  G 
In reids--ville

VERSE 2
G			Em7
When I turned 18, I sold that car
C		G		D
Traded wheels for a wedding band
G			Em7
A plymouth hunter green, big block with 3 on the tree
C		G		D
And every nut and bolt turned by these 2 hands 
G			Em7				
It was a good start, then things just got so hard
C		G		D
Where the hell'd we fall off track
G			Em7
Now I work for her dad, and the pay it ain't half bad
C		G		D
Keeps a roof on her head and the bank off my back


CHORUS

We were too young to know, what this town it had in store

And we were too much in love to give a god damn

And with expectations high, its always do or die

It seems like our fate's already been sealed

In reids--ville


VERSE 3


That girl of mine, how here eyes they used to shine

Like two rare stones set out on display

We were wild and we were young, and we could take on anyone

Now here eyes are darker than  a funeral serenade

I'd burn it down, every square inch of this town

Just to see one more smile on her face

When it comes my day to die, I wanna look God in the eyes

And ask him why he gave up on this place 


CHORUS


'Cus we were too young to know, what this town had in store

And we were too much in love to give a god damn

And with expectations high, its always do or die

It seems like our fates already been sealed

In reids--ville
