Welcome To Prairieville

G  C



[Verse 1]
       G
That sign ain't right on the edge of
 town

The population keeps going down
             C                     
And there's for sale signs on just 
              G
about everything
G
Manny's Bar is about all that's left

And there's a tire shop, but it's 
probably next
     C                          
Oh hell, who knows, they've been 
                   G
saying that for years

[Refrain]
   Em              D/F#           
   It's a pretty drive if you've 
         C
got the time to kill
            G
Welcome to Prairieville

[Verse 2]
G
Benny's brother Joe sells firewood

When he ain't passed out on the hood
            C                      
Yeah, his roadside stand don't look
          G
 much anymore
G
They say it used to be quite a sight

Red tomatoes piled shoulder-high
        C                          
Yeah, sweet Vidalias and everything
         G
 in between


[Refrain]
   Em            D/F#          
   They strum a mess of oil rigs 
               C
through his fertile fields
             G

[Chorus]
 Em         D/F#
   I tried leaving but
 G             C
   It always pulls me back
Em               D/F#          C  D
   I just can't seem to let it go
Em              D/F#      G
Maybe it's the water that
          C        Em
Just gets in your blood
                 D/F#            
And some of the dust gets in your 
  C   D
soul
 C                               D
   I don't understand it and I never
 will
             G
Welcome to Prairieville

[Verse 3]
G
Dale drives an old fixer up

Black and silver-striped step side 
truck
     C                          
He sold it twice, bought it back 
        G
both times
            G
See, it's where he first kissed 
Emily

Now she's working on number three
            C
With some slick-haired banker
                       G
The next town up the road

[Refrain]
 Em                      D/F#     
   They got a brand-new place on 
                  C
one of the higher hills
                   G
'Tween there and Prairieville

[Chorus]
 Em          D/F#
   I tried leaving but
 G             C
   It always pulls me back
 Em              D/F#          C  D
   I just can't seem to let it go
 Em              D/F#    G
Maybe it's the water that
          C          Em
Just gets in your blood
                 D/F#            
And some of the dust gets in your 
  C   D
soul
 C                               D
   I don't understand it and I never
 will
             G

 Em          D/F#
   I tried leaving but
 G             C
   It always pulls me back
 Em              D/F#          C  D
   I just can't seem to let it go
 Em              D/F#    G
Maybe it's the water that
          C          Em
Just gets in your blood
                 D/F#            
And some of the dust gets in your 
  C   D
soul
 C                               D
