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.
