Em Em3 C G
The good old girls
Em Em3 C G
Fall for them good old boys
Em Em3 C G
With big old trucks
Em Em3 C G
That make a bunch of noise
Em Em3 C G
We buy our beer
Em Em3 C G
when we fill our tank
Em Em3 C G
We drive around and drink and talk about how we hate

[Chorus]
Em Em3 C G
This old town with barbed wire fences
Em Em3 C G
Will get ya nowhere fast if you don’t listen
Am7
You get some dirt on your boots and cuss that ground
Am
While the rest of the world keeps spinnin’ around
Em Em3 C G
This old town with barbed wire fences

[Verse]
Em Em3 C G
Shotgun shells,
Em Em3 C G
red stop signs
Em Em3 C G
Sheriff parked,
Em Em3 C G
down at the county line
Em Em3 C G
Yeah, it’s always been
Em Em3 C G
like it is right now
Em Em3 C G
We don’t know why, but we hang around
[Chorus]
Em Em3 C G Em Em3 C G
This old town with barbed wire fences
Em Em3 C G Em Em3 C G
Will get ya nowhere fast if you don’t listen

Em Em3 C G
Fillin’ my tank,

Em Em3 C G
and buyin’ my beer

Em Em3 C G
But I’m headed home,

Em Em3 C G
to a pretty girl and a porch light

Em Em3 C G
Now I know why some folks like

Em Em3 C G
This old town with barbed wire fences

Em Em3 C G
Will get ya nowhere fast if you don’t listen
Am7

Am
While the rest of the world keeps spinnin’ around
