Verse 1:
G                 C         D      G      C 
It ain't much different out here I found 
D         G                            C       D     G     C  D 
It's just different names for the same old hillbilly towns 
Em                      D 
  Welcome signs for the shotgun homes 
C                       D 
  Familiar faces in the same old rows 


     G          C 
With every cafe corner diner 
         Am                D 
It's the same old story to some old timer 
G                       C 
Rundown tavern on a dim lit street 
        Am                          D 
I'd see my old friends in everybody I'd meet 

    F                         Em               D 
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to fi-ind 
                     G 
Is the girl I left behind

Verse 2:
G                                     C    D          G      C 
  There's been a few that have caught me a little off guard 
D                                 C          D  G     C 
  I try to fool myself but I just can't fool my heart 
D       Em                D 
  Every pretty green-eyed girl I see 
        C                         D 
Gets me further away from where I want to be 


G                    C 
Summertime tailgate, road-side stands 
        Am                           D 
Sellin' home grown tomatoes and strawberry jam 
G                             C 
Little white churches and country stores 
             Am            D 
Every town's just like the one before 

    F                         Em               D 
The only thing missin' that I can't seem to fi-ind 
                     C 
Is the girl I left behind me 


Bridge:
C 
Standin' on her momma's front porch 
D 
Wavin' through the black smoke rollin' outta that old Ford 
C 
Took me to some backwards town 
        D 
Wishin' I had you 
                         G 
But you're nowhere to be found
