D                                  Bm7
Weeds blow tall on a broken train track
D                                  Bm
Ruth B. draws we're fixin' to get high
D                                                        Bm7      A
Maybe we'll hit the bluffs and find ourselves the same old rum 

[Chorus]
G                                           A
But everybody says this place is beautiful
A                                   
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
G                                               A
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
A
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly 

[Interlude]
D                              Bm7
Life goes by on a Talihina sky 

[Verse 2]
The hopped up boys are lookin' for their trouble
The knocked up girls, well they've all got their share
Ruth seems out of her mind, swears she won't give in this time

[Chorus]
G                                           A
But everybody says this place is beautiful
A                                   
And you'd be so crazy to say goodbye
G                                               A
But everything's the same this town is pitiful
A
And I'll be gettin' out as soon as I can fly
