Horse Town Chords & Lyrics - Jim Henry - One

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

[VERSE 1]
He was [G]leaving home on [D]Saturday
So the [Em]whole town gathered at the [C]picket gate
To [G]wave him off 'cause he was [D]New York [C]City [G]bound [C] [D]
His [G]Mama cried as he [D]pulled away
His [Em]Daddy smiled as [C]if to say
"You're the [G]last of three to get [D]out of this [C]one-horse [G]town"

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

[VERSE 2]
Then the [G]wind picked up and the [D]rain came down
And [Em]everybody headed for the [C]center of town
Where there was [G]cold beer and [D]stories [C]at the [G]bar [C] [D]
But we [G]forgot about the [D]pouring rain
Be[Em]fore too long there was [C]music playing
The [G]Mama and the Daddy [D]danced 'til the [C]pain was [G]gone

[CHORUS]
They're living it [C]up in a one-horse [G]town
A peck on the [D]cheek when there's no one a[G]round
The squeak of the [C]door at the general [Em]store
And an old man's [D]smile
The kids want to [C]leave this life be[G]hind
Discover the [D]world beyond the county [Em]line
But they got a good [C]start
Straight from the [D]heart of a one-horse [G]town [C] [D]

[VERSE 3]
On the [G]summer nights when the [D]wind won't blow
The [Em]Daddy tunes in the [C]radio
To [G]cities close to [D]where the [C]kids have [G]gone [C] [D]
[G]Jennifer's warm in [D]Santa Fe
[Em]Jesse's all clear in [C]Portland, Maine
But [G]Jimmy in New York [D]City can't [C]see the [G]stars

[CHORUS]
They're living it [C]up in a one-horse [G]town
A peck on the [D]cheek when there's no one a[G]round
The squeak of the [C]door at the general [Em]store
And an old man's [D]smile
The kids want to [C]leave this life be[G]hind
Discover the [D]world beyond the county [Em]line
But they got a good [C]start
Straight from the [D]heart of a one-horse [G]town [C] [D]

[VERSE 4]
One [G]day the Daddy got a [D]big surprise
The [Em]Mama held him close, looked him [C]right in the eye
Said, "It's a [G]long, long time since we've [D]been in this [C]house a[G]lone [C] [D]
We [G]spent our lives with [D]kids to raise
But [Em]now that they're gone and [C]on their way
It's you and [G]me, we're still in [D]love in this [C]one-horse [G]town"

[CHORUS]
They're living it [C]up in a one-horse [G]town
A peck on the [D]cheek when there's no one a[G]round
The squeak of the [C]door at the general [Em]store
And an old man's [D]smile
The kids want to [C]leave this life be[G]hind
Discover the [D]world beyond the county [Em]line
But they got a good [C]start
Straight from the [D]heart of a one-horse [G]town
But they got a good [C]start
Straight from the [D]heart of a one-horse [C]town [G]
