[Verse]D5 G5 D5
Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth
D5 G5 D5
Every traffic light is red when it tells the truth
G5 F#m Em A7
The church bell isn't kidding when it cries for you
D5 G5 D5
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
D5 G5 D5
Thomas County Road takes you where it will
D5 G5 D5
Someone's singing on the far side of other hills
G5 F#m Em A7
There's nowhere safe to bury all the time I've killed
D5 G5 D5
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
D5 G5 D5
There's a couple ways to cross Thomas County Line
D5 G5 D5
You can't see beyond the trees, they're too tall and wide
G5 F#m Em A7
And I never seem to see around my brother's wife
D5 G5 D5
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
[Chorus] G5 D5 A7 D5
There are castles for kings, there are birds without wings
G5 D5 A7
I could whine 'bout it all, but I won't
[Verse]D5 G5 D5
Thomas County Law's got a crooked tooth
D5 G5 D5
There ain't a mother with a heart less than black and blue
G5 F#m Em A7
When they hold 'em to the light, you can see right through
G5 F#m Em A7
Every dreamer falls asleep in their dancing shoes
G5 F#m Em A7
I may say I don't belong here, but I know I do
D5 G5 D5
Nobody looks away when the sun goes down
D5 G5 D5
