Lights Of Town

Owen Temple

 

Capo on 4th fret

C
The red sun’s going down, I’ll be waiting up again
F
Wondering where you are tonight
                  C
Out with all your friends
C
And I guess that you don’t think about 

The home you left behind
F                           G               C
But I’d give everything to get you out of my mind


C
You thought a quiet ranch road

Was good enough back then
   F                                                   C
But now you need those city lights and bars to go sit in
C
And I wonder where the old you goes

When all the bars close down
F
‘Cause I can just listen to the crickets sing
   G                      C
but you need the lights of town


F
the lights of town are blinding you now
C
you can’t even see
G
that part of you you left behind
C
when you walked out on me
F
but when those city lights go dim
C
and you’re left all alone
C                       G                 C
I wonder if you could find your way back home

You forget about the moon in a bar full of neon lights
You can’t remember holding hands
On chilly autumn nights
And though it seems to you
That the starts have lost their shine
They’re glowing bright as ever darling
Past the city limits sign

Chorus

In the middle of the night I sometimes watch the road
I see the headlights move on past
And I shiver from the cold
By now the doors are locked downtown
And still no sign of you
The lights of town have broke the heart
That loved you once so true

Chorus
