Nothin' ever happened round my home town

Got a two-pack habit and a motel tan

When my boots hit the boards I'm a brand new man

        C                              
put my back to the risers and make my stand

G
Hey pretty baby won't you hold me tight

I'm loadin' up and rollin' out of here tonight

One of these days I'm gonna settle down C G* and I'll take you back with me to the guitar town Outro (G*) |C |D |C G ||x2
