[Verse]
C G/B Am7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
F G
Was suddenly full of strange men
F
Who wore suits in the summer
C/E D G
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
C G/B Am7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
F G
And none of them came back a gain
C G/B Am7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
F C/E F C/E
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
F G C
Mean a damn thing to them

[Verse]
C G/B Am7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
F G
Where my momma and her momma lay
F C/E
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
D G
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
C G/B Am7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
F G
That you're not here to day
C G/B Am7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
F C/E F C/E
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
F G C
That would actually blow it a way
C G/B Am7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
F G
Used to be the general store.
F
But now they got a new one.
C/E D G
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
C G/B Am7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
F G
I got up with the dawn
C G/B Am7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
F C/E F G
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
