A
Wasn't the question you asked me
A
It wasn't the answer I gave
E                                 A
That made me feel like I was on a train
A
Was a distant voice
A
Made me make a choice
That I had to get the heck out of this town
D                        A
I got a lot of things to do
D                  A
A lot of places to go
D                             E
I've got a lot of good things coming my way
E                                                       A
And I'm afraid to say that you're not one of them.

A
Last time I was there
A
You were out on the couch
E                             A
Pressed into a little electric 2
A
It was the way that you smiled
A
Made me know at once
E                               A
That I had to get the heck out of this town
D                             A
'Cause I've decide to make a stand
D                             A
And I'm not gonna take your hand
E                                                                     A
I'm taking the next bus outta here, I'm gonna head for Box Elder, M.O.
