    A                       D                          A
I'd like to say, "Adios, my friend" and go down to old Mexico
    F#m                       D                     E
I'd like to say, "Goodbye, my love," and move up to Ontario

But they stop me at the borderline, said, "Who's the real wetback this time?"

Well, I used to know a girl down here, pour flowers in her hair
    F#m                        D               E
She danced around the jukebox, son, said she'd follow me anywhere
        D                         A     D                       A
Well, I think of her from time to time, standing in the welfare line
                                                  E
Thinkin' about all the places we were supposed to go

Well, the smoke stacks will make you cough, I'm tired of being laid off

[Chorus]
           A                 D
And that's old town rock and roll

Well, I used to have a band down here in my old neighborhood
F#m                     D                   E
Sometimes we'd just get drunk, sometimes we sounded good
          D                     A          D                   A
But their ain't no new songs to sing, just karaoke and buffalo wings

[Chorus]

And that's old town rock and roll

Well, I should have gone to school, I guess, instead of goin' downtown to get a dime
F#m                     D                      E
Should have kept my old car from runnin' outta gas that time
        D               A                         D                        A
Well, I got a lotta I.O.U.s, I mean, come on man, what are you supposed to do?

With old town rock and roll
