There ain't a lot that you can do in this town 
G                                                       C  D G        
You drive down to the lake and then you turn back around 
G                                               C  D  G 
You go to school and you learn to read and write 
G                                                           C D G 
So you can walk into the county bank and sign away your life 
G                                                  C D G 
Now I work at the fillin station on the interstate 
G                                                  C  D G 
I'm pumpin gasoline and countin out of state plates 
G                                                                C D G 
They ask me how far into Memphis son and where's the nearest beer 
G                                                    C D G 
They don't even know that there's a town around here 
Em  C       D             G 
Someday I'm finally gonna let go 
Em      C              D      G 
Cause I know there's a better way 
Em    C                 D         G     
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow 
G   D         C           D       G C D       G  C D G 
I'm gonna get out of here someday       someday 
G                                                      C  D G 
Now my brother went to college cause he played football 
G                                                    C D G 
I'm still hangin' round cause I'm a little bit small 
G                                                C D G 
I got me a 67 Chevy she's low and sleek and black 
G                                                           
Someday I'll put her on that interstate and never look back 
Em  C       D             G 
Someday I'm finally gonna let go 
Em      C              D      G 
Cause I know there's a better way 
Em   C                 D         G     
And I wanna know what's over that rainbow 
G    D        C             D 
I'm gonna get out of here someday 
G    D        C             D    G   C  D    G 
I'm gonna get out of here someday 
G        C    D   G         C    D    G   C   D   G 
Someday           someday
