G
[Verse 1]
CThere's a house down the street from the place that I grew up in
G C GIts got bright blue shutters and a dog house in the yard
CThere's a man on the porch, you can try, but he won't say nothing
G CHe's got big blue eyes but they can't see very far
G CHad a wife, two kids, and a white picket fence, he loved it
G COnly time he ever left that house was for Sunday church
G CFound God in the bottom of a bottle when his wife went running
G CThen the mill shut down and the town took a turn for the worst
[Chorus]
D Em D CAnd oh, thats just the way it goes
D Em D G COh, this place takes its toll
GI know, I know
[Verse 2]
G CTheres a dive with an old jukebox where my friends like smoking
G CThere's a place upstairs that they rent months at a time
G CIt's a real small flat and the door in the back stays open
G CFor the high school kids getting high on their parents' dime
G CAsked a girl there once why her heart seemed so damn broken
G CIts a real sad tale but she smiled the whole way through
G CWell, her mom got sick and her dad got hooked on hoping
G CWhen the hope ran dry he found love in sex and booze
[Chorus]
D Em D CAnd oh, thats just the way it goes
D Em D G COh, this place takes its toll
GI know, I know
*whistling*
C G C
*Strum once
[Verse 3]
G* C*There's a road out of town where the ground stays dry all winter
G* C*Nothing grows out there like the pines in the freezing cold
G* C*Never known someone to come back here in winter
G* C*Only thing this towns good for is for getting old
[Outro]
G CWell, the girl that I love can't drive out past those pine trees
G CSays her life is here and she can't just run away
G CWell, I'll drive that road out of town where no one can hear me
G CAnd scream at the sky "I'll get out of here someday"
