[Intro]
Gm7 Gm6 Gm7 Gm6
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
Me and my friends went to Dixieland,
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
drove a big RV
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
With a cabinet full of mushrooms
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
And a cooler full of beer
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
It was spring time in the mountains
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
When we headed out of town
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
The peaks were white, the sky was blue
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
And the sun was beatin' down
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
We were rollin' down the highway
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
Just havin' a little fun
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
You sure can drink a lot of beer
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
Underneath that Texas sun
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
So I pulled into a liquor store
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
And that's where the trouble all began
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
'cause I ran into their awning
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
And we had a run-in with The Man
[Chorus]
Cm7 D7
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
G7 G#dim
'cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail when the sun goes down
Am7 D7 G7 D7b9
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
I tried to talk to the girl inside
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
I even offered her some cash
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
But she wouldn't listen, she just called the cops
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
'cause her gutter had been smashed
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
And the next thing I knew when I walked outside
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
There were police all around
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
Askin' who was drivin' the vehicle, can I see your license
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
Whatcha doin' in our town
[Chorus]
Cm7 D7
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
G7 G#dim
'cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail when the sun goes down
Am7 D7 G7 D7b9
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
We were sittin' on the steps of the liquor store
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
Just tryin' not to look too scared
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
They were searchin' the RV and I was thinkin'
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
Sometimes life just isn't fair
[Verse]
Gm7 Gm6
Well, they opened up that cabinet
Gm7 Gm6 Ebmaj7
And they found our little stash
Cm7 Dm7 A7 Adim
But they didn't know what it was and let us go
D7b9 Gm7 D7#9
Minus eighty bucks in cash
[Chorus]
Cm7 D7
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
G7 G#dim
'cause I don't wanna be stuck in jail when the sun goes down
Am7 D7 G7 D7b9
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
[Chorus 2]
Cm7 D7
Get me out of this smalltime Texas town
G7 G#dim
I'll be runnin' as soon as my feet hit the ground
Am7 D7 G7 D7b9
You can't bust me if you don't know what you found
