History of a Boring Town chords by Less Than Jake

Speaking with Songfacts about this song in a 2011 interview, Less Than Jake lead singer Chris Demakes discussed his experiences on the road that inspired this song. Said Chris: "You'll end up waking up, you'll go into your hotel and realize it's just as disgusting as the last hotel room you were in. Then you'll wander over to a mall. You'll walk the mall six or eight times and realize that you're in your 30s and it's not cool to walk a mall all day, because you're not old enough to walk the mall like the old people do, and you're not young like the kids, so you're in the middle where you're screwed."
