"Nowhere U.S.A."
performed by Dean Miller on his self-titled
debut album
transcribed by Diron Ahlquist
[G]They call me hayseed [C]country boy, [G]but what I am I [C]can’t avoid,
[G]My hometown [C]streets are part of [D]me.
[G]City limit signs are [C]back to back, [G]we ain’t even a [C]dot on the
map,
[G]Nothin’ to do, but [C]man do you feel [D]free.
CHORUS
Here in [G]Nowhere, [C]U.S.[D]A., that’s where [G]I’m from [C]where I’ll
[D]stay.
[C]You can have your [D]Broadway nights, [G]I’ll take stars and [C]pale
moonlight,
[G]Raise my kids some[D]day, in [C]Nowhere, [D]U.S.[G]A.
[G]We got one street light and a [C]cop named Joe, [G]an old café where
every[C]body goes.
[G]Church on Sunday, a [C]dance on Saturday [D]night.
[G]Kids drag and their [C]folks stay home, [G]playin’ cards and domi[C]noes.
[G]Family’s strong and [C]we know wrong from [D]right.
CHORUS
Back in……
[C]We don’t laugh or look [D]down our nose, or [G]judge a man by the [C]cut
of his clothes,
[G]We don’t live that [D]way, in [C]Nowhere, [D]U.S.[G]A.
[G]They call me hayseed [C]country boy, [G]but what I am I [C]can’t avoid.
[G]My hometown [C]streets are part of [D]me!
