Verse 1
She said "it's Dnone of my business but it Gbreaks my Dheart"
Dropped a D/Bdozen cheap roses in my Gshopping Dcart
Made it Dout to the truck without Gbreaking Ddown
D/BEverybody knows you're in a Gspeed tDrap town
It's a DThursday night but there's aG high schoolD game
Sneak aD/B bottle up the bleachers and forGget myD name
These D5-A bastards run a sGhallow Dcross
It's aD/B boy's last dream and a Gman's firstD loss
Chorus 1
And it Emnever did occGur to me to Dleave, 'til D/Atonight

If there's Emanything that Gcan't be left beDhind

The Ddoctor said daddy wouldn't Gmake it a Dyear
But theD/B holidays are over and hGe's stillD here

Was a Dtough state trooper from a Gdecade Dback
Till that D/Bgirl who wasn't mama caused his Gheart attaDck
He didn't Dcare about us when he was Gwalkin' Daround
Just D/Bpulling women over in a Gspeed trapD town
