Speed Trap Town

               D                   
She said "it's none of my business 
       G         D
but it breaks my heart"
          D/B                     
Dropped a dozen cheap roses in my 
G        D
shopping cart
        D                       
Made it out to the truck without 
 G        D
breaking down
D/B                         G     
Everybody knows you in a speed trap 
 D
town

       D                           
It's a Thursday night but there's a
G           D
 high school game
       D/B                         
Sneak a bottle up the bleachers and
    G     D
 forget my name
      D                   G      
These 5-A bastards run a shallow 
D
cross
      D/B                     G   
It's a boy's last dream and a 
       D
man's first loss


[Chorus 1]
       Em           G         
And it never did occur to me to 
  D           A
leave, 'til tonight
       Em              G          
There's no one left to ask if I'm 
D
all right
Em              G                 
Sleep until I'm straight enough to
 D           A
 drive, then decide
           Em            G        
If there's anything that can't be 
       D
left behind

[Verse 2]
    D                          G  
The doctor said daddy wouldn't 
       D
make it a year
       D/B                     G  
But the holidays are over and he's
      D
 still here
    D                             
How long can they keep you in the 
G  D
ICU
D/B                           G  
Veins through the skin like a 
     D
faded tattoo

      D                         
Was a tough state trooper 'til a 
 G      D
decade back
          D/B                 
When that girl who wasn't mama 
            G         D
caused his heart attack
          D                        
He didn't care about us when he was
 G       D
 walkin' around
     D/B                     G    
Just pulling women over in a speed
     D
 trap town


[Chorus 2]
       Em          G          
But it never did occur to me to 
  D             A
leave, 'til tonight
       Em             G           
When I realized he'll never be all 
D
right
Em               G        
Sign my name and say my last 
       D           A
goodbye, then decide
             Em                G  
That there's nothing here that 
             D
can't be left behind


[Guitar Solo]


[Verse 3]
D                         G       
Roads got blurry when the sun came 
 D
up
D/B                         G     
Slept a couple hours in the pickup 
 D
truck
D                           G    
Drank a cup of coffee by an 
   D
Indian mound
D/B                           G  
Thousand miles away from that 
       D
speed trap town
D/B                           G  
Thousand miles away from that 
       D
speed trap town
