Standard (EADGBE)

Joey's arm has two tattoos

The stars and bars and "born to lose"

With glassy eyes he waits for rain

 Says it reminds him of his wedding day

And when you drive through Cumberland in the dark

And you watch the woods and you see the sparks

Roll down the window and hear the sound

 of broken glass and coming down

Chorus

And the dirt underneath the methadone and concrete

 Has gotta be more than dust bones

 'Cause the south ain't gonna rise again

 but we're holding out for Jesus

 or so they say on AM radio

When you don't fit in at church or bars

you bite your lip and you hide the scars

Pass the freeway out of town

 for broken glass and coming down

REPEAT CHORUS

Won't someone turn on AM radio?

Joey's arm has two tattoos

The stars and bars and "born to lose"

With glassy eyes he waits for rain

 Says it reminds him of his wedding day
