Key of F
(Capo 5)
Verse One
I wasn't meant for this place, it sure don't feel like home
We got a 12-lane highway and nowhere to go
It's not a bad city, but it's somebody else's dream
All this pounding on the pavement makes me wants to scream
Chorus:
I wanna be drinkin Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
I got a big city walk, and a small town on my mind
Verse Two
I know I gotta be here now, I know I gotta pay my dues
There's so much to gain, but there's so much you lose
Everybody's got a dream that'll split them straight in half
You gotta take a little time out, a little time to sit back
My heart's been jumbled and my spirit's off
I rarely tell the truth now, when I do I keep my fingers crossed
Everything moves so fast I can barely catch my breath
Everyone tugging at my sleeve, there wont be much of me left
Verse Three
So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places you know you've been found
So I'm gonna head up north, gonna see about a little town
Some places you just get lost, some places...
Chorus:
Well, you can find me drinking Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
I got a big city walk, and small town on my mind
Rainier on the river, whiskey at the Pastime
Trading this big city walk for that small town on my mind
