Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well every time I look [C]at[G][A]
[D]I c[G]an'[C]t think ing [G]of [D]you[G]
Well, every time that I get out
I [C]al ways end up right downtown
I [G]find myself just waiting for your [A]call[D]
Well, [G]you be riding in a pickup truck
and [C]I'll be waiting
Just leaning up
against [G]the gates of heaven I saw
[D]And a crystal bal[G]l
It takes two or three times
to learn my lesson
Three [C]or four beers to get me wrestling
I'm [G]into girls who ain't into the long [A]haul
[D]And if you[G] don't bother with my little
brother [C]pour me a drink
then I'll buy you another
and [G]I'll follow you [D]right on out the [G]door.

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[A][D][G][C][G][D]
[G]

[Verse 2]
[G]Sometimes I want to just kick and scream,
[C]get all crazy and blow off steam.
I [G]guess that's why a man
drinks [A]alcohol.[D]
I [G]need a baby that begs and pleads,
that [C]gets down on her hands and knees.
[G]Picks me up when [D]I need a ride [G]home.
It takes two or three times
to get your attention, [C]three or four.
If you got a boyfriend,
[G]I'm into girls who ain't into me at [A]all.[D]
Did you [G]say six or did you say seven?
Did [C]you write ten or did you write eleven?
If [G]I can't read it,
how can [D]I give you a c[G]all?

[Interlude 2]

[D][G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
Now [G]every time that I get out
I al[C]ways end up right downtown
[G]With a bar just like the lost [A]and found
[D]When my first cho[G]ice is gone
and the second's had
The [C]third one's stuck
but the fourth ain't bad
An[G]d I'm always s[D]tuck
with what's left [G]around
Now I ain't hatin' or discriminatin'
Cause [C]I'll take a girl that's
Polish or Haitian
[G]An d I like it if you're white
or black or [A]brown
[D]But the good one[G]s, they all go to the city
And [C]what's left here is a pretty city
[G]Man, I gotta [D]get out of this [G]town you
