[Verse]
E B/D# C#m7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
A B
Was suddenly full of strange men
A
Who wore suits in the summer
E/G# F# B
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
E B/D# C#m7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
A B
And none of them came back a gain
E B/D# C#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
A E/G# A E/G#
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
A B E
Mean a damn thing to them
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
E B/D# C#m7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
A B
Where my momma and her momma lay
A E/G#
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
F# B
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
E B/D# C#m7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
A B
That you're not here to day
E B/D# C#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
A E/G# A E/G#
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
A B E
That would actually blow it a way
E B/D# C#m7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
A B
Used to be the general store.
A
But now they got a new one.
E/G# F# B
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
E B/D# C#m7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
A B
I got up with the dawn
E B/D# C#m7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
A E/G# A B
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
