| Picture they took of you in your | cowboy hat |
| G | |
| Makes you | look like one of the boys |
| D | Em | |
| Out on a saturday | night, meanwhile |
| C | |
| On the | outskirts of the dance hall |
| G | D | |
| I'm a | joke that you'd prob'ly enjoy |
| Em | C | |
| On the outside of Memphis all the | buildings look big |
| G | D | |
| And the | white picket fences all | dare to charge |
| Em | |
| Around the lawn and | hold their heads up high |
| C | |
| When my | head-lights find them out |
| G | D | |
| They'll be the | first to put their hands in the ai | r |
| Am | |
| With the radio | on |
| D | G | C | |
| Singing a | country | song |
| C | G/B | C | G/B | |
| 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 |
| C | B7 | G | C | G | |
| Oh and I've | got a worried | mind | I | know |
| B7 | Am | |
| I hear the ghost of Pa | tsy Cline |
| B7 | Am | |
| On the Grand Ol' | Opry Show |
| Em | C | G/B | Em | C | G/B |
| 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 |
