                 Am       C 
She said she was leaving 
             G
So I went to follow
      D          C         G 
Blind love and I-55 got me here
          Am         C
Dirty old salt truck
              G   G/F#  Em
in the smog before me
             Am C/B C           D        G 
And dear old Dixie, back in the rearview mirror


Got a third-story walk-up
With a view of the alley
A mailroom job that isn't all glamour and fun
The woman I came for
Is gone to another
Now my feet are just too planted to run


Chorus:
               D        C            G
But there's no Carolina Moon over Chicago
   D         C                     G
No bluegrass growin' out in my backyard
   Am                      Em
No fields of sugarcane, no soft Virginia rain
    Am    C/B     C            D       G
But damn, if this livin' ain't Georgia Hard


Down on Halsted
The women walk by me
Like they can tell
I haven't got a dollar to spare
So it's into a side street
For a beer and a sad song
I guess some things are the same most everywhere

Chorus

Steel solo

Guitar solo

So please, Mr. Conwell
Could you accept the charges
When I told you "A cold day in Macon", I lied
And if your pecan trees 
Still need a-shakin'
I'll be back a-beggin' fast as the grey dog flies

Chorus
