verse 1 
             D 
Well I never asked 
      Bm 
To be born, no 
            G                  A 
But I carry on with my sad old song 
                   D 
Just like the year before 
           D 
And when I pray 
              Bm 
Lord it’s for freedom 
                  G            A 
To come and carry me on broken dreams 
                   D 
To a world worth a livin in 

     G                         Fm7 
Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere 
           Bm                                 G 
and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike 
G                                     D              Bm 
Said oh this town’s full of liars and lord I’ve been defeated 
        G 
But you stay here kid 
        A              D 
And you keep this town alive 


verse 2 
              D 
Well I try to be 
          Bm 
A sincere man 
           G                  A 
Someone to hold when life’s control 
               D 
Falls out your hands 

           D 
But lord I know 
             Bm 
I’ve let you down 
                  G                    A 
I’ll always walk away at the same slow pace 
              D 
Starin at the ground 

     G                         Fm7 
Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere 
           Bm                                 G 
and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike 
G                                     D              Bm 
Said oh this town’s full of liars and lord I’ve been defeated 
        G 
But you stay here kid 
        A              D 
And you keep this town alive 


verse 3 
                   D 
And the big bright lights 
              Bm 
Down in music city 
           G                       A 
Fall incomplete it’s what’s in the street 
                D 
That gave music meaning 

          D 
So as for me, 
                     Bm 
Lord I’ll take em or leave em 
          G                 A 
No masquerade or funeral parade 
                    D 
For some rich guy’s children 

     G                         Fm7 
Said kid I feel like I’m going nowhere 
           Bm                                 G 
and I been beaten down like a rusted railroad spike 
G                                      D           Bm 
Said oh this town’s full of actors and I guess I'm leavin' 
        G 
But you stay here kid 
        A              D 
And you keep this town alive
