(verse)
Ab Gb Dd
Out here on the backside of that city limit sign where the world turns two lanes
AbGbDb
Pretty girl working at the bank and the fella toppin’ off your tank knows your name
AbGbDb
Water tower, power lines, swimming holes rusty old RC cola sign
BbmEb
And county fairs, raise your hands up if you’ve been there
(chorus)
AbGbDb
Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy and the waitress calls you baby
BbmEb
And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.
AbDb
We say hell ya and amen, yeehaw, and y’all come back again
Bbm Dd
And pray that our boys come home alive
DbBbmEb
And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts
(no chord) Ab Gb Db, Ab Gb Db
Where there’s more trucks than cars.
(verse)
AbGbDb
Well, I’ve been there on the concrete of them big city streets
AbGb
In my Ford truck, traffic jam in the town square
Db (no chord)
Told my buddies living up there, good luck
AbGbDb
Meanwhile back in Tennessee we’re raising our babies and our own green beans
BbmEb
Kicking up dust, come on down when you had enough
(chorus)
AbGbDb
Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy and the waitress calls you baby
BbmEb
And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.
AbGbDb
We say hell ya and amen, yeehaw, and y’all come back again
BbmDb
And pray that our boys come home alive
BbmEb
And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts
Eb
Where there’s more trucks than cars.

(no chord)
Where there’s biscuits, grits and gravy, your pretty waitress calls you baby
And the starlight’s like a streetlight on a summer night.

BbmAbDb
And pray that our boys come home alive

And when Old Glory flies, we still hold our hands over our hearts

Where there’s more trucks than cars.
AbGb, DbAbDbAb
Where there’s more trucks than cars.
