E
Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
          A
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
        E                                                     B7

And the trees are dying undearneath the sky that's purple and brown
          E
You can't drink the water can't breathe the air
       A                                  
If you go out at all well you better take care
       E                                             B7           E
People packing heat on the  mean old streets of this dirty little town

          A
I've been saving my money each and every day
       E
Every dollar I make I put a nickel away
A
Five little pennies don't seem like much
      E                 B7
Maybe 20 more years and I'll have enough
E
Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
          A
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
        E                                                     B7

And the trees are dying undearneath the sky that's purple and brown
          E
You can't drink the water can't breathe the air
       A                                  
If you go out at all well you better take care
       E                                             B7           E

SOLO

A
Folks  round here say I'll never go
             E
But there's something about me they don't know
A
I've already left  this place in my mind
E                              B7
When my  body goes it's just a matter of time
E
Someday I'm gonna leave this dirty little town
          A
Where the talk is cheap on the dirty little streets
        E                                                     B7

And the trees are dying undearneath the sky that's purple and brown
          E
You can't drink the water can't breathe the air
       A                                  
If you go out at all well you better take care
       E                                             B7           E
