It seems like overnight, the town of Red River 
      C                       G
Was suddenly full of strange men 
          C
Who wore suits in the summer 
      G                   D
And stood on the dirt roads,  trying to hold their maps in the wind 
      G                   Em
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn? 
     C                      D
And none of them came back again 
       G                Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilson?

D                                          G
The last 50 acres, apparently they didn? mean a damn thing to them 
        G

C                          G
I stood on the hill, overlooking Red River, where my momma and her momma 
lay 
          C 
G                     D
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat, as they tore up the 
wood?where I played 
                       G 
Em                   C              D
And I said Momma forgive me, but I?almost glad, that you? not here 
today

see the last 50 acres in the hands of somebody that would actually blow 
it away

You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River 
 C                      G
Used to be the general store. 
       C 
G                  D
But now they got a new one. And you know that?ok, if a bus is what 
you? looking for

Em             C                 D
So early one morning, When the sun becomes red, I got up with the dawn
