Drive-By-Truckers - Zip City
Intro C Am C
Dm F C G X3
C
Your Daddy was mad as hell
Am
He was mad at me and you
F
As he tied that chain to the front of my car and
Dm
pulled me out of that ditch that we slid into
C
Don't know what his problem is
Am
Why he keeps dragging you away
F
Don't know why I put up with this shit
Dm C
When you don't put out and Zip City's so far away
Repeat Intro
C Am
Your Daddy is a deacon down at the Salem Church of Christ
F Dm
And He makes good money as long as Reynolds Wrap keeps everything wrapped up tight
C Am
Your Mama's as good a wife and Mama as she can be
F Dm
And your Sister's puttin' that sweet stuff on everybody in town but me
G Am
Your Brother was the first-born, got ten fingers and ten toes
F Dm
And it's a damn good thing cause He needs all twenty to keep the closet door closed
Repeat Intro
Dm F C
Maybe it's the twenty-six mile drive from Zip City to Colbert Heights
G
Keeps my mind clean Gets me through the night
Dm F
Maybe you're just a destination, a place for me to go
C G Dm
A way to keep from having to deal with my seventeen-year-old mind all alone
F
Keep your drawers on, girl, it ain't worth the fight
C
By the time you drop them I'll be gone
G Dm
And you'll be right where they fall the rest of your life
Repeat Intro
Dm F
You say you're tired of me taking you for granted
C G
Waiting' up till the last minute to call you up and see what you want to do
Dm F
Well you're only fifteen, girl, you ain't got no secretary
C G
And for granted is a mighty big word for a country girl like you
Dm
You know it's just your Daddy talking
F C
Cause He knows that blood red carpet at the Salem Church of Christ
G Dm
Ain't gonna ever see no wedding between me and you
Repeat Intro
C Am
Zip City it's a good thing that they built a wall around you
F Dm
Zip up to Tennessee then zip back down to Alabama
C Am
I got 350 heads on a 305 engine
F
I get ten miles to the gallon
Dm C
I ain't got no good intentions
