Intro: G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Em G Em
I'm only Gseventeen, but I want much more
Than a Emsmall town girl should bargain for
More than Gstanding in one place,
Waiting for the next James EmDean.
I live in a Gtown that's gripped in the Bible belt,
Man, I Embared my back and I took the welts
I only Gpray to get out of here
Maybe someday I'll Emfind out if the world is green
There is Cnothing to do in this Gtown at night but
CSit in my car and Gwatch the streetlights
Or Cstare out the window at the Gpizza joint
Em7What's the point?
I wish I could Gbuy my Dford a Csail
Hey, hey, look at the wind Gblow
Now the Glife of the local beauty queen
Is Emtied to the captain of the baseball team
They got a Gbaby on the way
At least that's what the kids are Emsaying
And the Gwedding I'm told, well it must take place
To Emsave both families from disgrace
But the Gwhole town knows, you see,
It ain't like she's not Emshowing...
There is Cnothing to do in this Gtown at night but
CSit in my car and Gwatch the streetlights
Or Cstare out the window at the Gpizza joint
Em7What's the point?
I wish I could Gbuy my Dford a Csail
Hey, hey, look at the wind Gblow
GTommy bates sits in his car and he waits
For his Cmaj7girl down at lucky's diner
They're at the Gend of the loop and he's drinking soup
While she Cmaj7puts on more eyeliner
I Gpassed them once, and I'll pass them twice,
And I'll Cmaj7pass them back again
They bought an Gold range rover from the next town over
And their Cmaj7headlights are my friends,
Yeah, those Em7headlights are my Dfriends...
There is Cnothing to do in this Gtown at night but
CSit in my car and Gwatch the streetlights
Or Cstare out the window at the Gpizza joint
Em7What's the point?
I wish I could Gbuy my Dford a Csail
Hey, hey, look at the wind Gblow
G Em G Em...
Hey, look at the wind blow...
Hey, look at the wind blow...
