[Verse 1]
[G]Mel's workin' the night shift,
[Gm][F][Gm]
[G]takin' in all the strays
[Gm]Frea[F]k s of[G] n[Gm]ature
and [G]runaways from life
[F]Who [G]in the hell is it beyond this rain?
[C]Only a few miles between
here and Houston
This [G]land will tell you for no [Gm]fee at all
[F]Ain[C]'t nothin' out here
but crickets and frogs
[F]My [G]man Mel's gonna see
us through [Gm]the night
[D]An d this whole state keeps
gettin' bigger and bigger
[C]How can this road be so long,
so [G]long?[F][C][G]
[F][C]
[G]You can find salvation
in the old ways of love
[Gm]The [F]Reve[Gm]rend [G]Doctor's
got the ear of God
[F]An [G]d that big old billboard's
paying for your attention
[F]Come [Gm]on in and make
yourself at [G]home
[C]We'll catch this old channel, so and so,
be[G]fore the devil [Gm]takes away our [F]license
[Cm]We're not fooled by the
glitter and the glamour,
[C]they're jus[G]t down -home
folk like you and me

getting bigger and bigger,

So [G]long[F][C][G]

[G][Gm][G][F][C][G][F][C]
[G]There ain't no stoppin'
when the Pope's behind the [F]wheel
[Gm]You [G]don't care if [Gm]we starve
Mixed with him you got a whole lot of [G]trouble,
man
[F]Says [G]the king of our happy hom[Gm]e
[G]We'[C]re not fueled by
nightly consumption
[G]Camels and beer
ain't gonna get [Gm]us through this ride
[F]We're [C]down on our knees
and we're begging for mercy
[G]Hope's a fair man if
you're on his good side
[F]An [D]d this old state keeps
getting bigger and bigger
[C]How can this world be so long?
So [G]long[F][C][G][F]
[C]And we're [G]lonely[D][G]
Sleeping
And we're [C]drinking
And and we're the [G]same
An[D]d this whole state keeps
getting bigger and bigger

getting bigger and bigger
