I didn’t know where to go, didn’t know what I should see

I tried to find myself, down in Tennessee

Em G C G

But you got a way, with the best of me

[Chorus]

And now I do my best, but I’m barely getting by

This damn town never sleeps, keeps me running every night

And now I do my best, but I’m barely getting by

This damn town never sleeps, keeps me running every night

[Verse 2]

Em G C G

Thought id get by on my own, thought i'd be what I wanted to be

Em G C G

Until you opened my eyes, and you made me see

Em G C G

So, I’ll just play these cards, until my time and moneys gone

Em G C G

And I leave this world, with these simple songs

[Chorus]

And now I do my best, but I’m barely getting by

This damn town never sleeps, keeps me running every night
