Intro: (E)  (E) 
 
Well, you (E) must be from the city 
Cause you sure ain't from 'round here 
There ain't no smoke-free section 
We don't (D) sell no (A) import (E) beer 
You been throwin' 'round that attitude 
Since you walked through that door 
I don't know where you come from  
But, you (NO CHORD) ain't there anymore 
 
(Chorus:) 
When in (A) Rome 
You can do like the (E) Romans 
But, when you're down (B) home 
You better do like (E) us 
 
You've been (E) looking down your nose 
At our water tower town 
Ain't no one gettin' rich 
But there's e(D)nough to (A) go ar(E)ound 
If you don't like Tracy's cooking 
Well, you best still leave a tip 
She's back there in the kitchen 
With a (D) baby (A) on her (E) hip 
 
Repeat  
 
(Bridge:) 
You (E) put your best foot (G) forward  
When you (D) go to meet a (A) man 
(E) Look him in the (G) eye 
Put a (D) good grip on his (A) hand 
Don't (E) cuss around the (G) ladies 
Tell us (D) how to raise our kids 
(B) We like doin' business  
Like our daddy's daddy did 
 
SOLO 
 
When you (E) drive off in your Beemer 
If you don't go 35 
Don't give no lip to Buford 
Or he (D) might just (A) dot your (E) eye 
And when you're at the courthouse 
Before Jude McCall 
You best not say a word 
Bout them (NO CHORD) commandments on his wall - Naw.. 
 
Repeat Chorus Twice
