F
Left my keys in the door
G C
Where’d you go?
There's not much here

At the small town rodeo

Went to the bar and sat alone
Crossed my fingers

That you'd show

But you never did cause you’re on the road

You left me here at the small town rodeo

Wishing I had a lasso

To throw your way and bring you home

Caught up in the twilight zone

Oh woah
