"God Bless This Town"

Wade Bowen & Michael Cox

Intro: E

E

You just thought you knew about rumors man

E

But you aint ever lived in my town

E

Population 153

E

And its still goin' down

A

What's his name's still runnin' around with Mary

E

Hell last I heard he'd already been married 3 times

E

You've been gone for what, about 8 years now

E

And they're still spreading rumors about you

E

You grew your hair long and shaggy

E

And gettin' drunk is all that you do

A

They forgot that you play your music

E

Yeah they gave up on you a long time ago

Chorus

D

God bless this town

A E

It's so good to be back home

D

Yeah, how you been doin'

A E

Lord, I know it's been so long

D

Tell your family hello

A E

I'm sure I'll see you around

F#m A

Be sure to close the doors and lock 'em up

E

God bless this town

E

Small towns are supposed to be small

E

Until being big gets in the way

E

A man doesn't play by their rules

E

Then he's not welcome to stay

A

And politics don't care about 21 years of service

E

Being a puppet is something he'll never be

Repeat chorus

Bridge

C#m C

Keep talking all you want

A E

I guess that's all you ever do

F#m

Soon I'll find my place

A

And I'll wave as I pass through

Repeat chorus

Tag: (spoken)

E

Yeah you just thought you knew rumors man

E

But you ain't never lived in my town
