Capo: 2nd fret
Intro: G Am C G (2x)
G Am
That backward town, in my rearview
C G
Was gonna be my whole world
G Am
Til my factory job, got shipped to Mexico
C G
And a city boy stole my sweet girl
G Am
I used to know everybody by name
C G
Everybody's moved away
G Am
Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go
C G
But I've run out of reasons to stay
G D Am C
This ain't nothin' like what I,
Am D G
had in mind for me
G D Am C
Then again my future,
Am D G
Ain't what it used to be

G Am
Well I thought like my dad, and his daddy before
C G
That I would die where I was born
G Am
Live a smalltown dream in a big backyard
C G
Raisin' babies and corn
G Am
Now here I am, one eye on the road
C G
Tryin' to read the map on the dash
G Am
Nowhere close to making up my mind
C G
With a fork in the road comin' fast
(chorus 2x)
G (one strum) Am (one strum)
That backward town, in my rear view
(pick) C D G
Was gonna be my whole world
Outro: G Am C G (play to fade)
