[D#]Bein' at most just a [G#]country boy innocent and [D#]all
I turned my face aw[G#]ay from the farm, on the city I would [D#]call
[Cm]Hey, what's doin' in the town of fortune and [F]fame?
[D#7]Bright lights a-glowin', I've come to make my [F#]name[Bbm][D#m][C#]
[D#]You see I've got my [G#]ol' guitar, I'm not a beggin' [D]fool
I play this town and a [G#]thousand more God knows I keep my [D]cool
[Cm]So what's a missin'? I've given my word the [F]best
[D#7]And I'm downright grateful, for Oh Yeah, my life's been [F#]blessed[D#7][F#]
Chorus:
[B]My my, [F#]can't you see the warnin'
When the [B]fires burn in hell you better [F#]pay
[B]Oh Yeah it's [F#]gonna get you in the mornin'
Now's your [B]chance you better get [F#]away[Bbm][D#m][C#][F#]
Stayed awake 'most all last night, just couldn't get to sleep
So many things sittin' on my brain, yes, I need a chance to think
But I've been told not to worry, everything's gonna be all right
Oh, mama, won't you tell me, why did I leave that night?
Seems like it's been ages ago now since I come to town
Ain't much changed, every face is the same, oh, people just a-hangin' round
So I'm a-leavin' this mornin', gonna go back home today
And let me tell you, buddy, turn around if you're fixin' to stay
You better go on back today
