Done by Dan Seals G Em C D | G walk to E G Em 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???? Strum only: \ with refrain: G Em C D G Em C D G End with a slow strum
