Blinking eye at the yellow light
Oh, and you just might miss it all together
Just an old BP and a Dairy Queen
Where the farmers meet to talk about the weather

It's a tailgate town
Just a needle on a map dot route
Hundred miles from the highway sound
In the middle of nowhere
Where time came and went
Flying by like a new Corvette
Oh, but we ain't left it yet
We're still kickin around this tailgate town

Friday night
Every soul for miles is underneath the light
Cheering all together
In '88, yeah we went to state
There wasn't any place that was any better

It's a tailgate town
Just a needle on a map dot route
Hundred miles from the highway sound
In the middle of nowhere
Where time came and went
Flying by like a new Corvette
Oh, but we ain't left it yet
We're still kickin around this tailgate town

Church of Christ
Chairs down in the aisle
Where someone gets baptized or sent up to Heaven
And they will rest in peace
Beneath that old oak tree
Yeah and just like me, they'll be here forever

Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, oh, woah
In the tailgate town
Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, oh, woah

In a tailgate town
Ooh, in a tailgate town
Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, oh, woah
This is my tailgate town

Woah, woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah, oh, woah
This is my this is my blinking eye
At the yellow light
Oh and you just might miss it all together
