Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Picture they took of you in your cowboy hat

Makes you look like one of the boys

Out on a saturday night, meanwhile

On the outskirts of the dance hall

I'm a joke that you'd prob'ly enjoy

On the outside of Memphis all the buildings look big

And the white picket fences all dare to charge

Around the lawn and hold their heads up high

When my head-lights find them out

They'll be the first to put their hands in the air

With the radio on

Singing a country song

Soft and low

Living on the edge of the city limit line

This is where the boundary finally ends

And I swear that we're the last living souls

In a populated ghost town

All the billboards are our best friends

Which way did our last chance go

And can we get out if we go right now?

It seems that with the malls and the mega-church stadiums

We would get out if we knew just how

With the radio on

Singing a country song

Soft and low

Oh and I've got a worried mind I know

I hear the ghost of Patsy Cline

On the Grand Ol' Opry Show

Standing in lind to get muy self-help book signed off

On by the reverand who shouts to the converted

Have mercy on this boy, he did it all by the book,

But still kind of has his doubts

Oh you look pretty good in that jonquil dress

But your smile is a wooden nickle's pride

And I know that it ain't worth much

But it feels good to touch

And I think that I could dance if I tried

With your radio on

Singing a country song

soft and low
