Am
If you won't pull the trigger
C
Will you lay that pistol down?
G
'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:
F
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:
Am
We could bring this town to Jesus
C
Baptize every hill
G
And still there'd be some heathens
F G Am
Who would never get their fill

And yeah, this county's got its demons
C
And I reckon I got mine
G
But even if I shook them, Lord
F G Am
They'd chase me 'cross the line
Chorus 2:
F
Oh, but you just wanna cut a shine?:

Believe me
Verse 3:
Am
It takes half a pint of poison
C
Just to bring you to your feet
G
Stumble out the back door

And crumble to your knees
Am
And if I gambled like I used to
C
If I had to point the blame
G
It wouldn't be that mountain girl
F G Am
Who stole your heart away
Chorus 3:
F
'Cause all you really wanna do
G
Is cut yourself a shine?:
Am
God almighty, Adam
F G Am
Won't you leave this town behind
F
Believe me
