[Verse 1]

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

         C                    Dm
There's only two means of salvation
        A#                F
around here that seem to work
A#                       A#sus2                    C
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival

[chorus]

          F                                       Gm
When you don't seem to run on either side of the fence

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

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

F Gm 2x

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


C                  Dm
Someplace where it don't feel like this
A#              F
world revolves around
A#                     A#sus2                     C
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival

          F                                       Gm
When you don't seem to run on either side of the fence

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

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

F Gm A# F

c                 Dm
Here it sometimes feels just like this
A#                F
world revolves around
A#                    A#sus2                      C
Whiskey or the Bible, a shot glass or revival
