(Capo on 1)
Intro.:  (C) x 8 measures
(C) At the corner cafe, she scrapes some quarters off the table
Says thanks, yeah, now maybe I'll be able to get that black Mercedes I've been savin' for
(C)The other girls say, "You outta undue a couple buttons, start showin' off a little somethin'"
She says, "No, you go ahead," think I'd rather stay poor
(Am) See I'm just makin' rent, (Dm) she says, "This ain't where my road ends"
(Chorus)
This (C)may not be my (F)town, (C)it'll do for (F)now
'Til (C)I can figure (F)out who I (G)am, where I'm (F)goin'
She's (C)slingin' eggs and (F)bacon with a (Am)college edu-(F)cation
Just (C)hangin' out and (F)waitin' for a (G)better plan she's o-(F)kay not (C)knowin'
She's (Dm)young and the (F)world's wide open
Inst.:  (C) x 4 measures
(C) There's a rusty old Ford, lives out back behind the diner
Sittin' there waiting on her to make her mind up
Itchin' to sling a little gravel, take her who knows where
(Am) Maybe head out west, (Dm) it's in God's hands I guess
(Chorus)
This (C)may not be my (F)town, (C)it'll do for (F)now
