	They hung a sign up	in our town

	G	C
"If you l	ive it up, you won't live it d	own"

	C	F
So, s	he left Monte R	io, son,

	G	C
Just l	ike a bullet leave	s a gun

	F	G
With ch	arcoal eyes and Mo	nroe hips

	C	F
She went and t	ook that Calif	ornia trip

	Dm	G
Well the	moon was gold, her	hair like wind

	Dm	G
She said	don't look back just	come on, Jim

Chorus

	C	G	C	F
Oh, you got to	Hold on, h	old on,	baby gotta	hold on

	C	G	C
	Take my hand, I'm st	andin' right here, you gotta h	old on

Well, he gave her a dimestore watch

And a ring made from a spoon

Everyone is looking for someone to blame

But you share my bed, you share my name

Well go ahead and call the cops,

You don't meet nice girls in coffee shops

She said "Baby, I still love you,

Sometimes there's nothin' left to do"

Chorus

Well, God bless your crooked little heart

St. Louis got the best of me

I miss your broken-china voice

How I wish you were still here with me

Well you build it up, you wreck it down

You burn your mansion to the ground

When there's nothing left to keep you here,

When you're falling behind in this big blue world

Chorus

Down by the Riverside Motel

It's 10 below and falling

By a 99 cent store

She closed her eyes and started swaying

But it's so hard to dance that way

When it's cold and there's no music

Well your old hometown is so far away

But inside your head there's a record that's playing

(a song called)

Chorus
