[Verse]
F C/E Dm7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
A# C
Was suddenly full of strange men
A#
Who wore suits in the summer
F/A G C
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
F C/E Dm7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
A# C
And none of them came back a gain
F C/E Dm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
A# F/A A# F/A
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
A# C F
Mean a damn thing to them
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
F C/E Dm7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
A# C
Where my momma and her momma lay
A# F/A
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
G C
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
F C/E Dm7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
A# C
That you're not here to day
F C/E Dm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
A# F/A A# F/A
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
A# C F
That would actually blow it a way
F C/E Dm7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
A# C
Used to be the general store.
A#
But now they got a new one.
F/A G C
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
F C/E Dm7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
A# C
I got up with the dawn
F C/E Dm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
A# F/A A# C
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
