Mom and Pops are closing down
             F                           Am7
Out with the corn fields, along with the farms
              Eb                     Bb
They put in a concrete place to park cars
                    Gm7                   C               F

Driving around in this town is draggin' me down

I still hear the train, it just ain't as loud
                 Eb                       Bb
I guess all this hurry's been drownin' it out

Driving around in this town is draggin' me down
Eb                          Bb
This ain't the place that I knew
