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

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