G C    G     G C    G


[Verse 1]
G
Mile back off the interstate
       Em                  G
Minute past the stop and go
                     C
There's a place just off the map
           G                       C G
Across the tracks that nobody knows

                  C         G
Except the locals and lost
        C                   G
And the crooked county cops
           C                   G
Most don't make it past gettin gas
                             C     G
And gettin back on the road, road


[Chorus]
  C             G
I love and hate this place
D             Em
Some things never change
           C                       G
The dinner bell, the bible and the belt
                 D
And the sweet sound

       C         D
Of the engine pistons gunnin'
    G           Em  D
The distant highway hummin'
        C            G                  D
Like it did, when we said we'd make it out
            G           C    G
Of this ole turn around town


[Verse 2]
     C                 G
Used race the two lane
                     C          G
From the exit to the end of the line
        C
Slowing by the coffee shop
G                                C  G
Where the cops hang out at night

              C   G
Oh I remember 18,
                        C     G
Seemed like every other night
                 C
I made it to the edge of town,
G                      D
Turned around too many times


[Chorus]
  C             G
I love and hate this place
D             Em
Some things never change
           C                       G
The dinner bell, the bible and the belt
                 D
And the sweet sound

       C         D
Of the engine pistons gunnin'
    G           Em  D
The distant highway hummin'
        C            G                  D
Like it did, when we said we'd make it out
            G           C    G
Of this ole turn around town

[Solo]
| D | Em D | C | G | D

[Chorus]
  C             G
I love and hate this place
D             Em
Some things never change
           C                       G
The dinner bell, the bible and the belt
                 D
And the sweet sound

       C         D
Of the engine pistons gunnin'
    G           Em  D
The distant highway hummin'
     C         G             D
Like it did, when we said we'd make it out
        G               C    G
Of this ole turn around town
                        Em    C   G
Of this ole turn around town
