[Verse]
D5 G5 D5 Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth D5 G5 D5 Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth G5 F#m Em A7 The church bell isn't kidding when it cries for you D5 G5 D5 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down D5 G5 D5 Thomas County Road takes you where it will D5 G5 D5 Someone's singing on the far side of other hills G5 F#m Em A7 There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed D5 G5 D5 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down D5 G5 D5 There's a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line D5 G5 D5 You can't see beyond the trees, they're too tall and wide G5 F#m Em A7 And I never seem to see around my brother's wife D5 G5 D5 Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
[Chorus]
G5 D5 A7 D5 There are castles for kings, there are birds without wings G5 D5 A7 I could whine 'bout it all, but I won't
