[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 in a speGed trapD 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 Atonight
There'sEm no one left to Gask if I'm Dall right
EmSleep until I'm Gstraight enough to Ddrive, then Adecide
If there's Emanything that Gcan't be left beDhind
[Verse 2]
The Ddoctor said daddy wouldn't Gmake it a Dyear
But theD/B holidays are over and hGe's stillD here
How Dlong can they keep you in the GICUD
D/BVeins through the skin like a Gfaded taDttoo
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
[Chorus 2]
But it Emnever did ocGcur to me to Dleave, 'til toAnight
When I Emrealized he'll Gnever be allD right
EmSign my name and Gsay my last goodDbye, then deAcide
That there's Emnothing here that Gcan't be left beDhind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
DRoads got blurry when the Gsun came Dup
D/BSlept a couple hours in the Gpickup Dtruck
DDrank a cup of coffee by an GIndian mDound
D/BThousand miles away from that Gspeed trapD town
D/BThousand miles away from that Gspeed trapD town
