[Verse 1]
D
Mama said nothin' good happens after midnight
Em7
Truck full of buddies and a 12-pack of somethin' light
G
Recipe for disaster right there
G
That's a road that goes nowhere
D
People said a six string's good for time to kill

But it don't buy a house and it don't pay pills

If you don't get a job, don't cut your hair
G
That's a road that goes nowhere
[Chorus]

But one got me to Music City
Em7
One got me a kiss from a pretty

Smile shotgun ridin'

The ones less traveled
D/F#
Washed-out pothole, dirt, mud, and gravel

Kind that you don't know where they lead
N.C.
They took me where I need to be
[Chorus]
D
One got me to Music City
Em7
One got me a kiss from a pretty

Smile shotgun ridin'
