Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse one

I wasn't meant for this place, it sure don't feel like home

 We got a 12-lane highway and nowhere to go

It's not a bad city, but it's somebody else's dream

 All this pounding on the pavement makes me wants to scream

Chorus

I wanna be drinkin Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime

 I got a big city walk, and a small town on my mind

Verse two

I know I gotta be here now, I know I gotta pay my dues

There's so much to gain, but there's so much you lose

Everybody's got a dream that'll split them straight in half

You gotta take a little time out, a little time to sit back

Chorus

Bridge

 My heart's been jumbled and my spirit's off

 I rarely tell the truth now, when I do I keep my fingers crossed

 Everything moves so fast I can barely catch my breath

 Everyone tugging at my sleeve, there won’t be much of me left

Verse three

So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town

Some places you just get lost, some places you know you've been found

So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town

Some places you just get lost, some places...

Chorus

Well, you can find me drinking Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime

I got a big city walk, and small town on my mind

Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime

Trading this big city walk for that small town on my mind
