Blink an eye at the yellow light
                                  Eb
Oh and you just might miss it all together
Ab
Just an old BP and a Dairy Queen
                                     Eb  
Where the farmers meet to talk about the weather

[Refrain]
Ab
It's a tailgate town
                   Fm
Just a needle on a map dot route
                       Db
Hundred miles from the highway sound
                 Ab
In the middle of nowhere
N.C.
Where time came and went
          Fm
Flying by like a new Corvette
                 Db
Oh, but we ain't left it yet
Ab                  Eb     Ab                  Db Ab Eb
We're still kicking around this tailgate town
Ab
Friday night
N.C.
Every soul for miles is underneath the lights
             Eb
Cheering all together
Ab
In '88, yeah we went to State
                                    Eb
There wasn't any place that was any better

Church of Christ
N.C.
Chairs down in the aisle
N.C.
Where someone gets baptized or sent up to Heaven
N.C.
And they will rest in peace
N.C.
Beneath that old oak tree
                                       Eb
Yeah and just like me, they'll be here forever
