Album: Billy Currington

Writers: Martin/Nesler

Capo: 2nd fret

Intro: G Am C G (2x)

G Am

That backward town, in my rearview

C G

Was gonna be my whole world

G Am

Til my factory job, got shipped to Mexico

C G

And a city boy stole my sweet girl

G Am

I used to know everybody by name

C G

Everybody's moved away

G Am

Can't say that I'm really wantin' to go

C G

But I've run out of reasons to stay

(chorus)

G D Am C

This ain't nothin' like what I,

Am D G

had in mind for me

G D Am C

Then again my future,

Am D G

Ain't what it used to be

G Am

Well I thought like my dad, and his daddy before

C G

That I would die where I was born

G Am

Live a smalltown dream in a big backyard

C G

Raisin' babies and corn

G Am

Now here I am, one eye on the road

C G

Tryin' to read the map on the dash

G Am

Nowhere close to making up my mind

C G

With a fork in the road comin' fast

(chorus 2x)

G (one strum) Am (one strum)

That backward town, in my rear view

(pick) C D G

Was gonna be my whole world

Outro: G Am C G (play to fade)
