Paint The Town Beige

D      D/C#   D/B     D/A     
I gave up the fast lane for a 
G        G/F#   Em
blacktop county road
D                              A
Just burned out all that talk about 
the mother lode
D        D/C#  D/B     D/A   G
I traded for a songbird and a 
       G/F#     Em
bigger piece of sky
D                                
When I miss the good old days, I 
A             D
can’t imagine why

Chorus:
            G                      
Still I get restless and drive into
 D
 town

  A                                
I cruise once down Main Street and 
            D
turn back around
               G                   
It’s crazy but God knows I don’t 
     D
act my age
                  A                
Like an old desperado who paints 
       D
the town beige

D  D/C#  D/B  D/A

Down along the river and past the 
swimming hole
You can find your peace of mind with
 just a fishin’ pole
And you can walk the river for miles
 and miles on end
And never stop believin’ in that 
dream around the bend

Chorus

Deep down in the winter time slows 
to a crawl
There’s really nothin’ much to do 
until the first spring thaw
It’s then I get to thinkin’ I must 
have gone insane
Old memories roll through my mind 
like a long slow railroad train
