[Verse 1]
Its got a Dten foot rusted steeple, Ascarred by mother nature
And a Bmweathered front door about to lose its Gwar with father time
And that Dmud hole in the driveway, it gets Adeeper every Sunday
The Bm"W" is Amissing from its Gworn out welcome sign
The Emgrass out D/F#in the Ggraveyard ain't been Dcut since D/F#late GJuly
[Chorus 1]
But on the Dinside, well now Athats a different story
Their Bmsinging glory Aglory, never Gbeen so full of Alife
A ray of Dhope shines through that Abroken stained glass window
And its aBmmazing how it hits Athose heavy Ghearts at the right time
when its Emdark outD/F#, even the Gblind can see the Alight on the Ginside
[Verse 2]
Well, she Ddresses like a Barbie and she Acusses like a sailor
She's Bmearned that piece of sidewalk by the aGvenue off of Main
She Ddon't leave that corner for Anothing but top dollar
Cause Bmnothing but top Adollar Gkeeps that habit in her veins,
She Emblends in D/F#with the Gother trash you'll Dsee if D/F#you drive Gby
[Chorus 2]
But on the Dinside, well now Athats a different story
She's just a Bmgirl from Burns, WyAoming, that rGan away one nigAht
And when she Dain't high, how she Amisses mom and daddy
She Bmwants them there so Abadly to make Geverything alright
Never Embeen more D/F#lost or Gscared in her young Alife on the Ginside
[Bridge]
Well that Bmgirl finally Gfound her way back Dhome
Where her Bmfamily Gshowers with Dlove
And she Bmfound her own way-Adown to that ol Gchurch
You know the Gone, sure could use some fixin Aup
[Chorus 3]
But on the Dinside, well now Athats a different story
Their Bmsinging glory Aglory, never Gbeen so full of Alife
A ray of Dhope shines through that Abroken stained glass window
And its aBmmazing how it hits Athose heavy Ghearts at the right time
when its Emdark outD/F#, even the Gblind can see the Alight on the Ginside
