Am  G  F  G
Am  G  F  G
[Strophe]
Am                     G        F 
   Wipe the footprints off my dash 
                        G      Am 
Tore up those sun-faded photographs 
                                 G         F 
Threw 'em in the wind, ya'll can have it back, I'm outta here  
Am                             G        F 
   I stuck my middle finger up in the sky 
                         G           Am 
Flipped off that "ya'll come back" sign 
                      G        F                   G 
Looked in the mirror one last time, and watched it disappear
[Refrain]
Am                        G        F 
   It ain't nothin' but a rearview town 
                   G      Am 
Broken hearts and rusted plows 
                       G          F 
Roots ripped right up out of the ground 
       G 
Never thought I'd ever leave it  
Am                          G        F 
   It ain't nothin' what it used to be 
            G     Am 
Population minus me 
                      G         F 
On the other side of that dust cloud 
       G                    Am    G  F  G 
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
[Strophe]
Am                           G          F 
   I could tough it out but what's the use? 
                          G       Am 
A place that small, it's hard to do 
                    G     F               G                Am 
Too much of her to run into, and so much road to somewhere new
[Refrain]
                       G        F 
It ain't nothin' but a rearview town 
                   G      Am 
Broken hearts and rusted plows 
                       G          F 
Roots ripped right up out of the ground 
       G 
Never thought I'd ever leave it  
Am                          G        F 
   It ain't nothin' what it used to be 
            G     Am 
Population minus me 
                      G         F 
On the other side of that dust cloud 
       G                    Am    G  F  G 
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town 
Am    G  F  G
[Pont]
Am                        G      F 
   It ain't nothin' but a yesterday 
                  G          Am 
One less truck rollin' down Main 
              G        F 
Ain't nothin' left to say
[Refrain]
Am                              G        F 
   No, it ain't nothin' what it used to be 
            G     Am 
Population minus me 
                      G         F 
On the other side of that dust cloud 
       G                    Am    G  F 
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town 
                    G       Am    G  F 
Ain't nothin' but a rearview town
