That sign ain't right on the edge of town
The population keeps going down
             C                                   G
And there's for sale signs on just about everything
G
Manny's Bar is about all that's left
And there's a tire shop, but it's probably next
     C                                             G
Oh hell, who knows, they've been saying that for years

   Em              D/F#                    C
   It's a pretty drive if you've got the time to kill

Benny's brother Joe sells firewood
When he ain't passed out on the hood
            C                                G
Yeah, his roadside stand don't look much anymore
G
They say it used to be quite a sight
Red tomatoes piled shoulder-high
        C                                   G
Yeah, sweet Vidalias and everything in between

   Em            D/F#                         C
   They strum a mess of oil rigs through his fertile fields
             G
Welcome to Prairieville

 Em         D/F#
   I tried leaving but
 G             C
   It always pulls me back
Em               D/F#          C  D
   I just can't seem to let it go
Em              D/F#      G
Maybe it's the water that
          C        Em
Just gets in your blood
                 D/F#              C   D
And some of the dust gets in your soul
 C                               D
   I don't understand it and I never will
             G

Dale drives an old fixer up
Black and silver-striped step side truck
     C                                  G
He sold it twice, bought it back both times
            G
See, it's where he first kissed Emily
Now she's working on number three
            C
With some slick-haired banker
                       G
The next town up the road

 Em                      D/F#                       C
   They got a brand-new place on one of the higher hills
                   G
'Tween there and Prairieville

 Em          D/F#
   I tried leaving but
 G             C
   It always pulls me back
