[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Well they fi[G]nally put that
red light up in the heart [C]of town
Took the stop [G]sign down,
it was shot up [C]anyhow
[G]One night I ran right through
[C]it in my Chevrolet
Both police [G]cars came, but I got [C]away

[Verse 2]
It was a [D]boom town back in'62, 'til
[C]the coal ran out
And a drought came through,
and they [G]dammed the river
That we all used [D]to fish[C]
[D]Population 405 and [C]I made it
404 one night
And left the [G]city limit sign
layin' in the [D]ditch
Run plumb [C]over it, leavin' Met[G]ropolis[C]

[Verse 3]
Well, I found [G]myself in a big high- rise
with a con[C]crete yard
It ain't safe [G]after dark,
guess this ol' boy [C]drove too far
Met a girl, [G]fell in love,
got married and she's due [C]in May
Says we're gonna need [G]more space,
I said I know [C]just the place

[Verse 4]
Where we can [C]walk down to
the coun[D]try store
[C]And we won't even have
to [D]lock our door
We can [C]still get air and [G]wa
ter there for [Am]free[G]
[C]She said that sound[D]s good to me
[C]It was a

[Verse 5]
[D]boom town back in '62, 'til
the coal [C]ran out
And a drought came through,
and they [G]dammed the river
That we all used [D]to fish[C]
[D]Population 404 and when we [C]pull
in it'll be 3 more
And there's a [G]city limit sign
layin' in the [D]ditch
That I need [C]to fix, back in Met[G]ropolis
[C]I'm almost in Met[G]ropolis
[C]And I'm back in [D]Metro[G]polis
