[Verse]
Am           C
1st grade in Mrs. Jones class, used to

G                 D
talk about who we wanted to be

Am                       C
Everyone wanted to be an astronaut or

G                 D
see their face on the TV

Am                            C
when you’re young you have it all figured out,

G                        D
you swore you were never gonna stick around

Am                   C
Like our parents did

G                                  D
Said the same thing when they were kids
[Chorus]
Am         G
You can go 90 on a dirt road

D
But you know, you won’t get far

Am              G
Take a train to Amarillo

D
But be back at the local bar

Am                      C
Doin’ everything you’ve always known

G                         D
Gettin’ high and drunk on a backroad

Am                       G
Nodoby’s different we’re all the same

D
Giving’ up on dreams
In a town nobody leaves [Verse]
Am                C
Don’t know what’s ten miles south,

G                  D
passed that county line

Daddy says that the folk down there, don’t

G               D
understand this life

Am                   C
Of workin’ hard just to get paid,

G                       D
drinkin’ whiskey at the end of the day

Am                            C
Once you’re older you’ll understand 18

G                  D
you’ll know you’re damnned
[Chorus]

You ain’t ever leaving here you’ll never get out
