[Verse 1]
D
When I turn on the news
       Bm7        D
When I drive by a church
       G                       D
When I flip through a country station
D
When I see cool kids in a parkin' lot

       G               D
Livin' up to their reputation
D
When I'm three drinks in
                            G                   D
And some guy's hittin' on a blonde three stools down
D
When the talk gets cheap
  Bm           A         G               D
I cannot think about the girls in my hometown


[Chorus]
                 G    D
Are they gettin' married?
                 A  Bm7
Are they gettin' jaded?
          G
When they think seventeen
        D                           A    Bm7
Do they think of me and wonder if I made it?

                G  D
Are they really happy?
                A     Bm7
Are they makin' Daddy proud?
G                                 D
What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high?
                  A               D
I think about the girls in my hometown

[Verse 2]
D            A     Bm7
When I see a denim jacket
     A        G               D
When I hear a kid say a dirty word
                        A
When my faith's runnin' low
    Bm     A         G              D
And me and God ain't on the best of terms

                                 Bm7      A
When I'm out with someone and we lose our buzz
        G                 D
And the conversation dies out
               A
I go home by myself
      Bm7    A               G               D
And I cannot think about the girls in my hometown


[Chorus]
                 G    D
Are they gettin' married?
                 A  Bm7
Are they gettin' jaded?
          G
When they think seventeen
        D                           A    Bm7
Do they think of me and wonder if I made it?

                G  D
Are they really happy?
                A     Bm7
Are they makin' Daddy proud?
G                                 D
What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high?
                  A               D
I think about the girls in my hometown

[Bridge]
     G
When I hear the song "Strawberrry Wine"
              A
I think about all of the fences, all painted white
D             G
I think about falling in love, the meaning of life
                  Em7                 Em
I think about the girls in my hometown


[Chorus]
                 G    D
Are they gettin' married?
                 A  Bm7
Are they gettin' jaded?
     G                              D
Am I bright in their mind like it's summertime
                 A
Or just a little faded?

                G  D
Are they really happy?
                A     Bm7
Are they makin' Daddy proud?
       G                         D
In the back of my mind, did they get it right?
                  A               Bm7
I think about the girls in my hometown

G                                 D
What makes 'em cry? What gets 'em high?
                  A               D    G  D
I think about the girls in my hometown
