Tyler Childers
Adam
[Verse 1]
If you won't pull the trigger
Will you lay that pistol down?
'Cause you're scaring me to death
The way you twirl that thing around

And if you're restless for the highway
She's an easy one to please
Blacktop skin on rubber
You can run her 'til she screams

[Chorus 1]
Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]
More than you wanna go
You can't stand the city
And you can't take it here at home

[Verse 2]
We could bring this town to Jesus
Baptize every hill
And still there'd be some heathens
Who would never get their fill

And yeah, this county's got its demons
But I reckon I got mine
And even if I shook them, Lord
They'd chase me 'cross the line
[Chorus 2]
Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]
More than you wanna leave
The city ain't much different, boys
It's just bigger, better streets
Believe me

[Verse 3]
It takes half a pint of poison
Just to bring you to your feet
Stumble out the back door
And crumble to your knees

And if I gambled like I used to
If I had to point the blame
It wouldn't be that mountain girl
Who stole your heart away

[Chorus 3]
'Cause all you really wanna do
Is [cut yourself a shine?]
God almighty, Adam
Won't you leave this town behind
Believe me
