D Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town Em C Pulled my roots form the ground for [Chorus] G The hum of wheels on the blacktop D The strum of strings on the flattop Em It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer C Tells you everything you have is worth losing *pause Damn country music [Verse II] G You might get lost in the lights D The things that keep you up all night Em Whiskey straight, 3 am C Chasing songs in your head G It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows D It's needing "yes" and hearing "no" Em Just another sold soul C Believe me, I know it's [Chorus] G The hum of wheels on the blacktop D The strum of strings on the flattop
Em It'll take you, break you C Damn sure make you do things G D You never thought you'd be doing Em C Damn country music [Bridge] G When the money, the fame D The lights on your name all fade away Em C Well, you'll still be a slave to [Last Chorus] G The hum of wheels on the blacktop D The strum of strings on the flattop Em It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer C Tells you everything you have is worth losing Damn country music Damn country music
