[Verse 1]

If you won't pull the trigger

Will you lay that pistol down?

'Cause you're scaring me to death

F G Am

The way you twirl that thing around

And if you're restless for the highway

She's an easy one to please

Blacktop skin on rubber

F G Am

You can run her 'til she screams

[Chorus 1]

Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]

More than you wanna go

You can't stand the city

F G Am

And you can't take it here at home

[Verse 2]

We could bring this town to Jesus

Baptize every hill

And still there'd be some heathens

F G Am

Who would never get their fill

And yeah, this county's got its demons

And I reckon I got mine

But even if I shook them, Lord

F G Am

They'd chase me 'cross the line

[Chorus 2]

Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]

More than you wanna leave

The city ain't much different, boys

F G Am

It's just bigger, bitter streets

Believe me

[Verse 3]

It takes half a pint of poison

Just to bring you to your feet

Stumble out the back door

F G Am

And crumble to your knees

And if I gambled like I used to

If I had to point the blame

It wouldn't be that mountain girl

F G Am

Who stole your heart away

[Chorus 3]

'Cause all you really wanna do

Is [cut yourself a shine?]

God almighty, Adam

F G Am

Won't you leave this town behind

Believe me
