        Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, 
       Em       D/F#         G          A
        Leaning heavy on the end of the week

One time I saw my daddy dance, watched him moving like a man in a trance
        Branch water and tomato wine
        Creosote and turpentine
        Sour Mash and New Moonshine

First kiss I ever took, like a page from a romance book
                *** Instrumental break 
        Took a fall from a windy height
        I only knew how to hold on tight
        And pray for love enough to last all night

>>>BRIDGE
D6/G
Day breaks and the boy wakes up
(D6/G)
And the dog barks and the bird sings
(D6/G)                                   A7ss4
And the sap rises and the angels sigh....Yeah

I tried to go back as if I could, all-spec house and plywood
It doesn't come as a surprise to me, it doesn't touch my memory
        Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, 
        Leaning heavy on the end of the week
        Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
