(Intro) 3/4 G C G C x 2
G Am G/B C
I packed it all on a whim, threw an old Hank cassette tape in

Em
I quit my job, let my momma down
D C
Broke an angel's heart on the way out of town
Am
Pulled my roots --- from the ground for ---
(Chorus)
G C
The hum of wheels on a blacktop
G C
The strum of strings on a flat top
Em D C G/B
It's a neon fever, for a small town dreamer
Am D
Tells you everything you have is worth losing

G Am G/B C
Might get lost in the lights, the things that keep you up all night
G Am G/B C
Whiskey straight 3AM chasing songs in your head
Em D
It's the sweetest highs, the lowest lows, needing yes and hearing no
C Am
Just another sold soul, belive me I know it's
(Chorus 2)
G C
The hum of wheels on a blacktop
G C
The strum of strings on a flat top
Em D C G/B
It'll take you, break you, damn sure make you
Am G/B C D
Do things you never thought you'd be doing

The strum of strings on a flat top

It's a neon fever for a small town dreamer
