     C
Well I drive from town to town
                                        F      G        C
North and south and western bound where no one knows my name
C
I tell my stories in song and sound
                                       F                G      C
Turn me up, I wanna sing it loud, I’ll show you where I lay my blame
C
Now I’m taking my makeup off in somewhere southwest Arkansas
    F             G             C
Sometimes it just all seems the same

 
Pre-Chorus:
    Am                               F
The light doesn’t show itself when I want it sometimes
       Am                            G
With a crowd around me I still feel alone
         Am                              F
But to appreciate the way that fate gets cluttered like a dirty slate
    C             G              C
Sometimes it just has to be that way


Chorus:
    F                     C
I believe that there is a devil
      F                  G
And I know that he is no good
    F                   C  C/B
But if I never knew the devil
    Am    G               C
I’d never love you like I should

 
Well, four years ago we were just kids, wondering what we got ourselves in
We were sittin’ in my living room
Two days ago, hotel alone, I wish I could call you on the phone
But I just sat in gloom

But now were dancing in the kitchen light, you make the pain feel alright
Don’t let this end too soon
‘Cause tomorrow I’ll be on the road, calling this old car a home
But my heart will stay here with you

 
Pre-Chorus

Chorus
 

Fiddle Solo
F   C   Am   G
F   C  C/B  Am  G  C

Chorus 2:
    F                     C
I believe that there is a devil
      F                  G
And I know that he is no good
    F                   C  C/B
But if I never knew the devil
    Am     C      G                     C
I’d never, never, never love you like I should
 

Outro:
C
Well I drive from town to town, north and south and western bound
                   G      C
I hope he don’t forget my name
