A#
Yellow lights flashin' at the courthouse square
 D#
Smell of burnt cedar blowin' through the air
F                  D#
One day and not a soul in sight
          A#                         F
Just the wonders of the sky lightin' up the night

Endless backroads, crank your favorite song
Southern belle sittin' shotty as you ride along
No shirt drivin', blue jeans, bare feet
This is my hometown and I won't ever leave

Chorus:
A#
These old creek banks are my stompin' grounds
    Gm
The parkin' lot where my first fight went down
    D#                                      F
My first true love, my first breakup in a small town
         D#                A#
This is where it all went down

Lines of taillights for the Friday night game
Homecomin' week with the beer by the case
Tan legs swingin' on the diamond plate
On the outskirts of town where the fast cars race

Chorus

Gm                          F
Lookin back now i wouldnt change a thing,
            A#
all those crazy nights and memories made.
      Gm                         F
When running from the cops was still a game in
   D#
a small town
                       F
where a boy can still make him a name

Chorus:
On these old creek banks, my stompin' grounds
The parkin' lot where my first fight went down
My first true love and my first breakup in
a small town
This is where it all went down

(Yellow lights flashin' at the courthouse square)
Where it all went down
(Smell of burnt cedar blowin' through the air)
All went down
Yeah, this is where it all went down
(Yellow lights flashin' at the courthouse square)
Where it all went down
(Smell of burnt cedar blowin' through the air)
This is where it all went down
(Yellow lights flashin' at the courthouse square)
(Smell of burnt cedar blowin' through the air)
This is where it all went down
