Verse 1:
   D MajorD              D/F#D/F#
There ain't much to see here, it's what they say
  G+G         A augmentedA
You just grow up then move away
    D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
'Cause one red light and white picket fences
   G+G         A augmentedA
Can't cage a wild heart in
D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
Head for the city, make a little money
G+G          A augmentedA
Find a good girl if you get lucky

One day, you'll wake up and something's gone missin'

You'll sure miss the way back when

Chorus:
   D MajorD     D/F#D/F#
When life was a Mellencamp song
G+G    A augmentedA
 It was faded blue jeans
D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
 On the hood of a hand-me-down Chevy
G+G            A augmentedA
With all your first best friends

And time says you can't go back

Friday night, small town, American livin'

Verse 2:
 D MajorD            D/F#D/F#
I sure missed leavin' the doors unlocked
G+G          A augmentedA
Worms on the shovel, fish off the dock
D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
Mud up the fender, let down the window
G+G            A augmentedA
Hand flyin' free in the wind
 D MajorD         D/F#D/F#
I sure liked knowin' all my neighbors
G+G             A augmentedA
Back when I really meant "see you later"
D MajorD          D/F#D/F#
Football lights and fall county fairs
  G+G         A augmentedA
And kissin' on ferris wheels
