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


INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:

CHORUS:
       G

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
