VERSE:
 G
Those old dirt roads are being paved
Am7
Town squares and court houses goin` away
 C
Four-way stops are a thing of the past
     D
And Sunday drives no longer last

      G
What happened to that old porch swing
      Am7
That backyard baseball field of dreams
      C
It`s grown up so much you couldn`t miss it
D
Even if you blinked


CHORUS:
              G
So slow down small town
                            Am7
Don`t let those city lights burn you to the ground
                C
And let me have my run around
 D                G
Out on those old backroads

                 G
Give me back my fishin` hole
                   Am7
The one that subdivision stole
                 C                 D
It`s growin` up faster than I can count
              G
So slow down small town

    G                Am7                C      D   G

VERSE:
                 G
They`re turning railroads into walkin` trails
Am7
All the farmland`s gone up for sale
 C
Silos can no longer be seen
 D
That kinda town`s just a memory

             G
They traded water towers for small skyscrapers
 Am7
Digitalized the local paper
 C
Put in a four-lane interstate
     D
Just overnight, times have changed


CHORUS:
              G
So slow down small town
                            Am7
Don`t let those city lights burn you to the ground
                C
And let me have my run around
 D                G
Out on those old backroads

                 G
Give me back my fishin` hole
                   Am7
The one that subdivision stole
                 C                 D
It`s growin` up faster than I can count
              G
So slow down small town

CHORUS:

                C
And let me have my run around
 D                G
Out on those old backroads

                 G
Give me back my fishin` hole
                   Am7
The one that subdivision stole
                 C                 D
It`s growin` up faster than I can count
              G
So slow down small town
