[E] [Em] [A]
[E] [Em] She said it's none of my business [E] but it breaks my heart
I dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart
Made it out to the truck without breaking down
Everybody knows you in a speed trap town
It's a Thursday night but there's a high school game
Sneak a bottle off the bleachers and [E] forget my name
[Em] These five [E]-head bastards run a shallow cross
[Em] It's a boy's last dream and a man's first law
[A] And it never did occur to [Em] me to leave till [B] tonight
[F#m] There's no [A] one left to ask [Em] if I'm alright
[F#m] I'll sleep until [E] I'm straight [Em] enough to drive
[B] Then decide if there's [E] anything that can't be left behind
[Em] The doctor said [E] daddy wouldn't make it here
But [A] the holidays are over and he's still here
[Em] How long can they [E] keep you in the ICU?
Veins through the skin like a faded head
Was a tough state trooper till a decade back
When that girl that was a mama caused his heart attack
He didn't care about us when he was walking around
[A] Just pulling [E] women over in a speed trap town
[F#m] But it never [A] did occur to [E] me to leave till [B] tonight
When [F#m] I [A] realized he'll never be [Em] alright
[F#m] Sign my name [A] and say my last [E] goodbye
[B] Then decide [F#m] there's nothing [A] here that can't be left [E] behind
The

[B] [E] [B]
[Em] [A] [E]
road got blurry when the sun came up
So I slept a couple hours in the pickup truck
Drank a cup [A] of coffee by an Indian [E] man
A thousand miles away from that speed trap town
A [A] thousand miles away from that speed [E] trap town
[E] [Em] She said it's none of my business [E] but it breaks my heart
I dropped a dozen cheap roses in my shopping cart
Made it out to the truck without breaking down
