[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Jasper Mikels
CG
You lived just up Poverty Ridge
C
In a skyline trailer
GD/F#
Decorated with shame and dog shit
[Verse 2]
G
I got stuck behind you
CG
On my way to school
CG
And I'd fly by on 135
D/F#GC
As I rehearsed the Golden Rule
[Chorus]
CG
Small towns ain't much for small talk
C
They know your mother's maiden name
GD/F#
And every traffic stop
G
People said you weren't all there
D/F#
And not to stare
EmC
So we'd just walk right past ya
GCG
Jasper
[Verse 3]
G
Well, your dog rode shotgun
CG
On your rummage sale runs
CG
You were draped in dirt and secondhand shirts
D/F#
And secondhand buzz
[Verse 4]
G
I heard you hit a little girl
CG
And you were never the same
CG
Is that why you drove so slow on the old slab road?
D/F#C
Were you haunted by her face?
[Chorus]
CG
Small towns ain't much for small talk
C
They know your mother's maiden name
GD/F#
And every traffic stop
GD/F#
We all laughed, said you needed a bath
Em7C
Like you didn't even matter
G
Jasper
[Interlude]
GEm7GEm7GEm7GD/F#
[Verse 5]
G
Well, you died alone
CG
They found you after something like fifteen days
CG
Stack of Sunday papers made your run-down neighbor
D/F#
Call the cops to investigate
[Verse 6]
G
Your dog rode shotgun
CG
To the Jackson County pound
CG
To sit and wait for the same old fate
D/F#C
You already found
[Chorus]
CG
Small towns ain't much for small talk
C
They know your mother's maiden name
GD/F#
And every traffic stop
GD/F#
You didn't make the front page or the prayer chain
Em7C
Or the happy ever after
GD/F#
God knows you must've gone through hell, had a story to tell
EmC
But nobody ever asked ya
C
Wish I'd asked ya
G
Jasper
[Outro]
