[Verse 1]
Am F
Got friends back there, went from kids to fathers
Am C G
Just like their fathers went from raising hell to raising daughters
Am F
It’s blue jersey straight to blue collars
Am C G
Don’t dream no farther than that city limit sign
Am F
I feel a little free, feel a little guilty
Am C G
‘Cause I grew a little bit, and now it don’t fit me
Am F
Gotta give it credit for the man I am
Am C G
But I gotta lot of questions on the other hand

[Chorus]
F C G Am
Did my parents settle when they settled down?
F C G Am
Are you more brave for leaving or sticking around?
F C G Am
It’s one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns
F C G Am
Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out

[Verse 2]
Am F
Sometimes I wonder who I’d had married
Am C G
Would I be happy barely if I stayed?
Am F
Thought of waiting another year straight up scares me
Am C G
‘Cause there comes a time when it’s too late
Am F
And that muddy water turns into quicksand
Am C G
And you say you’re gonna leave, but you know can’t

[Chorus]
F C G Am
Did my parents settle when they settled down?
F C G Am
Are you more brave for leaving or sticking around?
F C G Am
It’s one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns
F C G Am
Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out

[Bridge]
Am F
It’s all in the way that you look at those memories
Am
If that water tower’s half full
C G
Or half empty

[Chorus]
F C G Am
Did my parents settle when they settled down?
F C G Am
Are you more brave for leaving or sticking around?
F C G Am
It’s one dot on a map, but a tale of two towns
F C G Am
Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out
F C G Am
Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out
F C G Am
Thank God I grew up there, thank God I got out
