Verse 1:
    G+G        D MajorD
He was leaving home on Saturday
    E minorEm             C majorC
So the whole town gathered at the picket gate
  G+G             D MajorD    C majorC  G+G   C majorC D MajorD
To wave him off 'cause he was New York City bound
  G+G        D MajorD
His Mama cried as he pulled away
  E minorEm       C majorC
His Daddy smiled as if to say
      G+G          D MajorD      C majorC     G+G
"You're the last of three to get out of this one-horse town"

Interlude:

Verse 2:
     G+G           D MajorD
Then the wind picked up and the rain came down
  E minorEm            C majorC
And everybody headed for the center of town
        G+G       D MajorD    C majorC   G+G  C majorC D MajorD
Where there was cold beer and stories at the bar
    G+G        D MajorD
But we forgot about the pouring rain
 E minorEm           C majorC
Before too long there was music playing
  G+G         D MajorD        C majorC    G+G
The Mama and the Daddy danced 'til the pain was gone


Chorus:
         C majorC         G+G
They're living it up in a one-horse town
       D MajorD             G+G
A augmentedA peck on the cheek when there's no one around
         C majorC          E minorEm
The squeak of the door at the general store
         D MajorD
And an old man's smile
         C majorC         G+G
The kids want to leave this life behind
       D MajorD            E minorEm
Discover the world beyond the county line
          C majorC
But they got a good start
         D MajorD          G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Straight from the heart of a one-horse town

Verse 3:
    G+G           D MajorD
On the summer nights when the wind won't blow
  E minorEm         C majorC
The Daddy tunes in the radio
  G+G        D MajorD     C majorC     G+G   C majorC D MajorD
To cities close to where the kids have gone
G+G         D MajorD
Jennifer's warm in Santa Fe
E minorEm          C majorC
Jesse's all clear in Portland, Maine
  G+G         D MajorD     C majorC    G+G
But Jimmy in New York City can't see the stars


Chorus:
         C majorC         G+G
They're living it up in a one-horse town
       D MajorD             G+G
A augmentedA peck on the cheek when there's no one around
         C majorC          E minorEm
The squeak of the door at the general store
         D MajorD
And an old man's smile
         C majorC         G+G
The kids want to leave this life behind

  G+G          D MajorD
One day the Daddy got a big surprise
  E minorEm               C majorC
The Mama held him close, looked him right in the eye
       G+G              D MajorD      C majorC   G+G   C majorC D MajorD
Said, "It's a long, long time since we've been in this house alone
  G+G          D MajorD
We spent our lives with kids to raise
  E minorEm            C majorC
But now that they're gone and on their way
       G+G         D MajorD      C majorC     G+G
It's you and me, we're still in love in this one-horse town"
