[Verse]
D# A#/D Cm7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
G# A#
Was suddenly full of strange men
G#
Who wore suits in the summer
D#/G F A#
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
D# A#/D Cm7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
G# A#
And none of them came back a gain
D# A#/D Cm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
G# D#/G G# D#/G
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
G# A# D#
Mean a damn thing to them
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D# A#/D Cm7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
G# A#
Where my momma and her momma lay
G# D#/G
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
F A#
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
D# A#/D Cm7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
G# A#
That you're not here to day
D# A#/D Cm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
G# D#/G G# D#/G
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
G# A# D#
That would actually blow it a way
D# A#/D Cm7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
G# A#
Used to be the general store.
G#
But now they got a new one.
D#/G F A#
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
D# A#/D Cm7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
G# A#
I got up with the dawn
D# A#/D Cm7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
G# D#/G G# A#
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
