Look Away Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Bobby took a trip to his
Georgia hometown
To the land of dreams and
just to have a look around
He parked his car at the courthouse square
But it was like a ghost town,
there was nobody there

[Verse 2]
And [Am]Jim's Drugstore was a [Em]tanning salon
He [F]asked an old man,
"Where's [G]ev'rybody gone?"
He [Am]found them out at the
[Em]shopping center
Where [F]Highway One meets
[G]In terstate Twenty

[Verse 3]
The country boys weren't [F]wearing
overalls
They were [Em]wearing suits made
of [D]camou[G]flage
Southern belles talking like [F]"Valley Girls"
He [Em]scratched [C]his head and said,
[D]"What [G]in the world?"
[C]Dixie's had a

[Verse 4]
[Em]facelift, I guess she's
looking better
[F]But I kinda liked the old [Dm]one,
I never will forget [Gsus4]her
[C]Look away
[G]

[Verse 5]
[C]Johnny took a trip to his
Florida hometown
To the land of his dreams and
just to have a look around
At first he thought that he was
on the wrong road
'Cause he didn't see
any orange groves

[Verse 6]
Now, [Am]trailer parks [Em]and condos grew
[F]on the land [G]that he once knew
He [Am]saw the city [Em]limits sign and [F]guessed
he'd crossed the [G]city line
There were strangers every[F]where he went,
with [Em]loud sport shirts [D]and strange ac[G]cents
They took the north and they [F]moved it south, [C]he said,
"Shut my [D]redneck [G]mouth!"

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Em][F][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 7]
[C]Billy took a trip to his Tennessee town
To the land of his dreams and just
to have a look around
He drove his car down Music Row
To look up stars he used to know

[Verse 8]
But the [Am]secretaries wouldn't [Em]let him in,
[F]"Leave your name [G]and call again"
So, he [Am]thought he'd get [Em]some barbeque
at a [F]little place [G]that he once knew
But all he found [F]were sushi bars [C]and
dealerships for for[D]eign [G]cars
And buildings that reached [F]for the sky,
[Em]he said, "Where [G]the hell am I?"
[C]Dixie's had a

[Verse 9]
[Em]facelift, I
guess she's looking better
But I [F]kinda liked the old [Am]one,
[Dm]I never will forget her
[F]Look awa[C]y, gone awa[Am]y, far awa[G]y, Dixieland
