[Verse 1]

Am                                                      C
Well it's a postcard town if you're looking with a naked eye
Am                                 Em                     Am
But if you look a little closer it's got a dark and evil side
                                             C
All around the edges that's where the devil dwells
 Am                           Em                                   Am
If you were born on the wrong side of the corn you know it all too well


[Verse 2]

Am                                                            C
Well the police chief's the cocaine king-pin of the whole damn county
Am                                     Em                      Am
He gets his picture in the paper then sells half of what he's imounded
                                                     C
He's got whatever you want as long as you've got the money
Am                                     Em                      Am
If you're a pretty young thing he'll let you pay him with your body


[Chorus]

G                                 Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C                                         Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
G                    Em                  C              Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
                             Em                  Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den


[Verse 3]

Am                                                C
Well there's a trailer just a couple miles up the road
Am                             Em               Am
It's got a stove pipe sticking out the bathroom window
                                                           C
They ain't slept in days, they've been whipping up another batch
       Am                      Em                      Am
They'll mix it up in the same tub they give the baby a bath


[Chorus]

G                                 Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C                                         Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
 G                  Am        C                         Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
                            Em                  Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den

C          Am     Em     Am


[Verse 4]

Am                                                  G
Across town a rich lawyer's got a big house on the hill
           Am                     Em               Am
He's got a pretty young wife who gets it all in the will
Am                                       C
She's got a dirt-poor piece of ass on the side
Am                                  Em                    Am
Who's going to show him tonight he's worth more dead than alive


[Chorus]

G                                 Am
If you're passing through keep on driving
C                                         Am
If you were born here that's where you're dying
G                   Em                  C               Am
If you ever get the chance you better get out while you can
                            Em                  Am
You don't want to be caught dead in the devil's den
