Intro: (Cadd9)  (C)  (Fadd9)  (F)  x 2 
 
Well they (Cadd9) finally put that red light up in the (Fadd9) heart of town  
Took the (Cadd9) stop sign down, it was shot up (Fadd9) anyhow  
One (Cadd9) night I ran right through it in my (Fadd9) Chevrolet  
Both po(Cadd9)lice cars came, but I (Fadd9) got away  
 
  It was a (G) boomtown back in'62, 'til the (F) coal ran out 
  And a drought came through, and they (C) dammed the river 
  That we all used to (G) fish 
  Population 405 and I (F) made it 404 one night 
  And left the (C) city limit sign layin' in the (G) ditch 
  Run plumb (F) over it, leavin' Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C) (Fadd9) (F) 
 
Well, I (Cadd9) found myself in a big high-rise with a (Fadd9) concrete yard  
It ain't safe (Cadd9) after dark, guess this ol' boy (Fadd9) drove too far  
Met a (Cadd9) girl, fell in love, got married and she's (Fadd9) due in May  
Says we're gonna (Cadd9) need more space, I said I know (Fadd9) just the place  
 
 Where we can (F) walk down to the country store 
 And we (C) won't even have to lock our door 
 We can (F) still get air and (F/E) water there for (Dm7) free 
 She said that sounds (Gsus4) good to me (G) 
 
  It was a (G) boomtown back in '62, 'til the (F) coal ran out 
  And a drought came through, and they (C) dammed the river 
  That we all used to (G) fish 
  Poupulation 404 and when (F) we pull in it'll be 3 more 
  And there's a (C) city limit sign layin' in the (G) ditch 
  That I (F) need to fix, back in Met(Cadd9)ropolis (C) (Fadd9) (F) 
  I'm almost in Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C) (Fadd9) (F) 
  And I'm back in Metr(Cadd9)opolis (C)
