Lyrics & Chords

Full Song

Verse 1

G C

Friday night, the sun goes down

G D

Main Street’s the only street in this town

G C

Same old crowd at the same old bar

G D

Park your truck where the sidewalk starts

Chorus

G

And it’s a one horse town

C

One stop light

G D

Blinkin’ red and green all night

G C

One way in and one way out

G D

One horse town

Verse 2

G C

Jenny works down at the Five and Dime

G D

Savin’ her tips and biding her time

G C

She’s got a map and a full tank of gas

G D

Dreamin’ of leavin’ but the years keep passin’

Chorus

G

And it’s a one horse town

C

One stop light

G D

Blinkin’ red and green all night

G C

One way in and one way out

G D

One horse town

Bridge

C G

Sometimes I wonder what I’m still doin’ here

C G

Same old faces, same old fears

D C

But these dusty roads and these familiar sounds

D C D

They’re the only roots this old heart has found

Verse 3

G C

The factory whistle blows at five

G D

Another week, we’re still alive

G C

We watch the world on a color TV

G D

And talk about places we’ll never see

Chorus

G

Yeah, it’s a one horse town

C

One stop light

G D

Blinkin’ red and green all night

G C

One way in and one way out

G D

One horse town

Outro
