[Chorus]
I've counted every Bhighway Gbline
I've read every Ebm7billboard Dbsign
BI swear I've been Ebm7everywhere
But I'm lDbooking for a place that's mine
It's hard to put your Bboots in the Gbground

[Verse 2]
BMaybe hang a front porch Gbswing
On a Dblazy little afterEbm7noon

DbWalk around town, Ebm7let my feet sink in it with ByouGb  
That's Dball I wanna do
