Intro: [Cadd9] [C] [Fadd9] [F] x 2

Well they [Cadd9]finally put that red light up in the [Fadd9]heart of town
Took the [Cadd9]stop sign down, it was shot up [Fadd9]anyhow
One [Cadd9]night I ran right through it in my [Fadd9]Chevrolet
Both po[Cadd9]lice cars came, but I [Fadd9]got away

[CHORUS]
It was a [G]boom town back in'62, 'til the[F] coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they [C]dammed the river
That we all used to [G]fish
Population 405 and I [F]made it 404 one night
And left the [C]city limit sign layin' in the [G]ditch
Run plumb [F]over it, leavin' Metr[Cadd9]opolis [C] [Fadd9] [F]

Well, I [Cadd9]found myself in a big high-rise with a [Fadd9]concrete yard
It ain't safe [Cadd9]after dark, guess this ol' boy [Fadd9]drove too far
Met a [Cadd9]girl, fell in love, got married and she's [Fadd9]due in May
Says we're gonna [Cadd9]need more space, I said I know [Fadd9]just the place

Where we can [F] walk down to the country store
And we [C]won't even have to lock our door
We can [F]still get air and [F/E]water there for [Dm7]free
She said that sounds [Gsus4]good to me [G]

[CHORUS]
It was a [G]boomtown back in '62, 'til the [F]coal ran out
And a drought came through, and they [C]dammed the river
That we all used to [G]fish
Population 404 and when w[F]e pull in it'll be 3 more
And there's a [C]city limit sign layin' in the [G]ditch
That I [F]need to fix, back in Met[Cadd9]ropolis [C] [Fadd9] [F]
I'm almost in Metr[Cadd9]opolis [C] [Fadd9] [F]
And I'm back in Metr[Cadd9]opolis [C]
