[Verse 1]
In aE small corner bar, he sAits there a-dErinkin' LEost as aA ball in a field full ofE corn FuErtherA away than he ever iEmagined That he'd eBver end uAp from the place he was bEorn Now no more fEorlorn as the Creeker drank whiskey Than the one that you sAee outside of your Eeye DrEinkin' Aalone as he looks out the Ewindow At all of the stBrangers on the coArner ouEtside
[Chorus]
He'd rather be dAead than alive one more mEinute In this BgodforsAaken tEown When hF#me was a kAid, Lord, he'd never have drEeamt it All the ways that the cBity can bring a coAuntry boy dEown
[Verse 2]
ENow they knew not his nAame and he knew not their fEaces And he knew not the Ahow nor the reason for wEhy You could ever wake Aup and wanna keep on a-Elivin' In a place where a fBriend is such a Ahard thing to Efind AEnd for everyone you meet, there's a whole mess of people Tryin' like Ahell to pull you on dEown To the level they're Aon and the trouble they're Etendin' In the mess that they've Bmade, in the guAtter they foEund
[Chorus]
He'd rather be dAead than alive one more mEinute In this gBodforsaAken tEown When F#mhe was a Akid, Lord, he'd never have dEreamt it All the ways that the cBity can bring a cAountry boy dEown
[Bridge]
ESome fellas do pills and tAhings of that nEature Some fellas chase gAirls to hang on their Earm Some fellas get Aby on practically Enothin' Some fellas get pBissed in a sAmall corner Ebar
[Chorus]
And they'd rather be dAead than alive one more mEinute In this gBodforsAaken tEown When thF#mey were all kAids, Lord, they'd never have dEreamt it All the ways that the cBity can bring a coAuntry boy dEown
