tailgate town

blinking eye at the yellow light

oh and you just might miss it all together

just an old bp and a dairy queen

where the farmers meet to talk about the weather

it's a tailgate town

just a needle on a map dot route

hundred miles from the highway sound

in the middle of nowhere

where time came and went

flying by like a new corvette

oh

but we ain't left it yet

we're still kickin around this tailgate town

friday night

every soul for miles is underneath the light

cheering all together

in '88

yeah we went to state

there wasn't any place that was any better

it's a tailgate town

just a needle on a map dot route

hundred miles from the highway sound

in the middle of nowhere

where time came and went

flying by like a new corvette

oh

but we ain't left it yet

we're still kickin around this tailgate town

church of christ

chairs down in the aisle

where someone gets baptized or sent up to heaven

and they will rest in peace

beneath that old oak tree

yeah and just like me

they'll be here forever

woah woah woah oh. woah woah oh. woah

in the tailgate town

woah woah woah oh. woah woah oh. woah

in a tailgate town

oooh in a tailgate town

woah woah woah oh. woah woah oh. woah

this is my tailgate town

woah woah woah oh. woah woah oh. woah

this is my this is my blinking eye

at the yellow light

oh and you just might miss it all together
