[Verse 1]
|D |2: G |4: D |
She said, "It's none of my business but it breaks my heart"
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shoppin' cart
|D |D |2: G |4: D | D |
... Made it out to the truck without breakin' down
|G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
Everybody knows you in a speed trap town
[Verse 2]
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... Well, it's a Thursday night but there's a high school game
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and for----get my name
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... These 5-A bastards run a shallow cross
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... It's a boy's last dream and a man's first loss
[Cborus 1]
|D |Em7 G/F# |G |D |A
... And it never did oc----cur to me to leave, 'til tonight
|Em7 G/F# |G |D |
.. And there's no one left to ask if I'm all right
|D |Em7 G/F# |G |D |A
... I'll sleep until I'm straight enough to drive, then decide
|Em7 G/F# |G |D |
.. If there's anything that can't be left behind
[Verse 3]
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
.... The doctor said daddy wouldn't make it a year
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... But the holidays are over and he's still here
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... How long can they keep you in the IC-----U?
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
.... Veins through the skin like a faded tat----too
[Verse 4]
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... Was a tough state trooper 'til a decade back
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... When that girl who wasn't mama caused his heart at----tack
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... He didn't care about us when he was walkin' a----round
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... Just pullin' women over in a speed trap town
[Cborus 2]
|D |Em7 G/F# |G |D |A
... But it never did oc----cur to me to leave, 'til tonight
|Em7 G/F# |G |D | D |
.. When I realized he'll never be all right
|Em7 G/F# |G |D |A
Sign my name and say my last goodbye, then decide
|Em7 G/F# |G |D |
.. That there's nothin' here that can't be left behind
[Break]

[Verse 5]
|D |2: G |4: D |
The road got blurry when the sun came up
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
... So I slept a couple hours in my pickup truck
|D |D |2: G |4: D |
... Drank a cup of coffee by an Indian mound
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
.... Thousand miles away from that speed trap town
|D |G/B G2 |2: G |4: D |
.... Thousand miles away from that speed trap town
