[Intro: ]

D, Bm7 x2 

Verse 1: 

D                                  Bm7 
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track 
D                                  Bm 
Ruth B. draws we're fixin' to get high 
D                                                        Bm7      A 
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum  

Chorus: 

G                                           A 
But everybody says this place is beautiful 
A                                    
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye 
G                                               A 
But everything's the same this town is pitiful 
A 
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly  

Interlude: 

D                              Bm7 
Life goes by on a Talihina sky  

Verse 2: 

The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble 
The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share 
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time 

Chorus REpeat
