AS recorded by Cody Johnson (2024 release) [Verse 1]
               F       Am7                       Gm7     C
Sky ain't been raining, and the crops ain't been growing

       Bb         F                      Am7
It's a small town shame, all up and down main

                 Gm7         C
Mom and Pops are closing down

             F                           Am7
Out with the corn fields, along with the farms

              Eb                     Bb
They put in a concrete place to park cars

                    Gm7                   C               F
Like the big cities do, and it's got this country boy singin' the blues
[Chorus]
                                                        Am7
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

       Eb                                    Bb
And in Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

         F                     Am7
Driving around in this town is draggin' me down

Eb                          Bb
This ain't the place that I knew

                  Gm7          C               F
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
[Verse 2]
                 Am7          Gm7      C
Grandaddy told me "everything changes"

                F                        Am7
You wake up one day, all the gravel gets paved

                     Gm7        C
And the old drive-in gets drove out

                 F                       Am7
I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud

                 Eb                       Bb
I guess all this hurry's been drownin' it out

                    Gm7                   C               F
Like the big cities do, and it's got this country boy singin' the blues
[Chorus]
                                                        Am7
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

       Eb                                    Bb
And in Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

         F                     Am7
Driving around in this town is draggin' me down

Eb                          Bb
This ain't the place that I knew

                  Gm7          C               Bb            F
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
[Bridge]
                    Gm7
Maybe I'll take the dirt road

                      C
Turn on some "Blue Suede Shoes"

            Gm7                            Bb      Bbm
The King on my radio might help me change my tune
[Chorus]
                                                        Am7
Well I'm miles from Memphis but I feel like I'm walking on Beale

       Cm7                                   Bb
And in Delta guitars cry just like my broken heart feels

         F                     Am7
Driving around in this town is draggin' me down

Eb                          Bb
This ain't the place that I knew

                  Gm7          C               F
And it's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
[Outro]
              Gm7          C                   F         Am7   Gm7   C    F
It's got this country boy, country boy singin' the blues
