All my friends are restless, all they do is talk it down,
G D C
two or eight lanes, it don?t matter, it?s just another town.

There?s a fool on every corner, on every street, in every one
G D C
and I?d rather be your fool nowhere than go somewhere and be no one's
Chorus:
Em D C
So marry me, sweet thing won?t you marry me
G D C
Your Mama thinks I beat anything she?s ever seen
G D C
This old town?s alright with me, there?s nowhere I?d rather be.
G D C
Long as they stay mad at one another, they can?t get mad at me

So marry me, sweet thing won?t you marry me
G D C
Your Mama thinks I beat anything she?s ever seen

This old town?s alright with me, there?s nowhere I?d rather be.

Long as they stay mad at one another, they can?t get mad at me

Even if they got more money and mouth than they got balls.
Am Em
That?s just how it went down, right or wrong, it?s just that way.

Just cause I don?t run my mouth don?t mean I got nothing to say
