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
(Woah woah woah oh. Woah woah oh. Woah)
(Woah woah woah oh. Woah woah oh. Woah)

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
