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?
C D G
The last 50 acres, apparently they didn? mean a damn thing to them
G Em 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
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilson?
C D G
see the last 50 acres in the hands of somebody that would actually blow it away
G Em
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
G Em C D
So early one morning, When the sun becomes red, I got up with the dawn
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilson?
C D G
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog???.And was gone????
