Blink an 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
[Chorus] 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 kicking around this tailgate town
Friday night Every soul for miles is underneath the lights Cheering all together In '88, yeah we went to State There wasn't any place that was any better
[Chorus] Than this 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 kicking 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
(Woah woah woah oh. Woah woah oh. Woah) 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 Blink an eye at the yellow light Oh and you just might miss it all together
