Adam

[Verse 1]

If you won't pull the trigger

Will you lay that pistol down?

'Cause you're scaring me to death

The way you twirl that thing around

And if you're restless for the highway

She's an easy one to please

Blacktop skin on rubber

You can run her 'til she screams

[Chorus 1]

Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]

More than you wanna go

You can't stand the city

And you can't take it here at home

[Verse 2]

We could bring this town to Jesus

Baptize every hill

And still there'd be some heathens

Who would never get their fill

And yeah, this county's got its demons

But I reckon I got mine

And even if I shook them, Lord

They'd chase me 'cross the line

[Chorus 2]

Oh, but you just [wanna cut a shine?]

More than you wanna leave

The city ain't much different, boys

It's just bigger, better streets

Believe me

[Verse 3]

It takes half a pint of poison

Just to bring you to your feet

Stumble out the back door

And crumble to your knees

And if I gambled like I used to

If I had to point the blame

It wouldn't be that mountain girl

Who stole your heart away

[Chorus 3]

'Cause all you really wanna do

Is [cut yourself a shine?]

God almighty, Adam

Won't you leave this town behind

Believe me
