Intro: G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Em G Em

I'm only [G]seventeen, but I want much more
Than a [Em]small town girl should bargain for
More than [G]standing in one place,
Waiting for the next James [Em]Dean.
I live in a [G]town that's gripped in the Bible belt,
Man, I [Em]bared my back and I took the welts
I only [G]pray to get out of here
Maybe someday I'll [Em]find out if the world is green

There is [C]nothing to do in this [G]town at night but
[C]Sit in my car and [G]watch the streetlights
Or [C]stare out the window at the [G]pizza joint
[Em7]What's the point?
I wish I could [G]buy my [D]ford a [C]sail
Hey, hey, look at the wind [G]blow

Now the [G]life of the local beauty queen
Is [Em]tied to the captain of the baseball team
They got a [G]baby on the way
At least that's what the kids are [Em]saying
And the [G]wedding I'm told, well it must take place
To [Em]save both families from disgrace
But the [G]whole town knows, you see,
It ain't like she's not [Em]showing...

There is [C]nothing to do in this [G]town at night but
[C]Sit in my car and [G]watch the streetlights
Or [C]stare out the window at the [G]pizza joint
[Em7]What's the point?
I wish I could [G]buy my [D]ford a [C]sail
Hey, hey, look at the wind [G]blow

[G]Tommy bates sits in his car and he waits
For his [Cmaj7]girl down at lucky's diner
They're at the [G]end of the loop and he's drinking soup
While she [Cmaj7]puts on more eyeliner
I [G]passed them once, and I'll pass them twice,
And I'll [Cmaj7]pass them back again
They bought an [G]old range rover from the next town over
And their [Cmaj7]headlights are my friends,
Yeah, those [Em7]headlights are my [D]friends...

There is [C]nothing to do in this [G]town at night but
[C]Sit in my car and [G]watch the streetlights
Or [C]stare out the window at the [G]pizza joint
[Em7]What's the point?
I wish I could [G]buy my [D]ford a [C]sail
Hey, hey, look at the wind [G]blow

G Em G Em...

Hey, look at the wind blow...
Hey, look at the wind blow...
