[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]
G
  Same Saturday night, same ol' crowd

Draggin' Main to the Safeway then we turn back around
     Cadd9
Till curfew then head down to the river's edge
             G
And get drunk
      D
Ain't nothing new, what else you gonna do
       G
Out in Podunk

[Verse 2]
G
  I knew this six-string was my ticket out

No flashing red light was gonna slow me down
    Cadd9
Eighteen years old, everything that I owned
                   G
In the back of that truck
        D
I put a dip in my mouth and I headed straight out
       G
Out of Podunk

[Chorus]
    G
Goodbye, Daddy looked me in the eye

Said, "Go where you gotta go but don't forget to call home"
          Cadd9
And Momma cried, "Keep Jesus in your life"

And I hugged her one last time
      D
And I headed down the road in a dusty cloud of smoke
       G
Out of Podunk

[Instrumental]
G  G  C  G

[Bridge]
         Am
A lot of years gone by, they're showing on my face
      G
Ain't nothing in this life that time hasn't changed
  Am
I chased a lot of dreams and some of them came true
         G                          Cadd9
Ain't it funny how the very place I ran from
                         D
Is the place I'm runnin' to?

[Verse 2]
        G
Another Saturday night singing to the same ol' crowd

Still playing this six-string but things are different now
      Cadd9
I met one of them girls, turn your whole world around girls
                        G
And wouldn't you know it
        D
Got our eyes on a house 'bout a hundred miles south
       G
Out in Podunk

[Chorus]
    G
Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye

Said, "Go where you gotta go, son, but don't forget to call home"
              Cadd9
And her momma cried, "Keep Jesus in your life"

And we hugged her one last time
        D
Then we headed down the road to start a family of our own
    N.C.
Out in Podunk

[Outro]
    G
Goodbye, her daddy looked me in the eye

Said, "Go where you gotta go, son, but don't forget to call home"
       Cadd9
Out in Podunk, "Keep Jesus in your life"

And we hugged her one last time then headed down that road
       G
Out in Podunk, Daddy looked me in the eye

Said, "Go where you gotta go, son, but don't forget to call home"
     Cadd9
(Goodbye)  Keep Jesus in your life

And I hugged her one last time and headed down that road, yeah
     G
(Goodbye)
