Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Grand Prairie TX Homesick Blues


INTRO: D MajorD


Grand Prairie, Texas, home on the range

I come here for salvation but I'm just another stranger
   G+G
On a strip highway
       D MajorD
Where nobody stops or stays
A augmentedA
Hell-bent on revival, looking to grow some roots
    G+G
I have mortgaged my survival with these worn out cowboy boots
      D MajorD
But there's just one horse in forty miles
                   G+G
And he's the prize possession of the Dallas zoo
          D MajorD
And he feels like a stranger, too

  D MajorD
Old Silver, take me riding through the foothills of my life

I went easy in the saddle with a lever-action rifle
   G+G
And a tin canteen
     D MajorD
Through a field of dreams
A augmentedA
Way out by the Beltline where the armadillos play
     G+G
With the noble bootjack rabbit in the evening of the day
  D MajorD
Oh where my brothers have you gone
                 G+G
For I return to thank you for the gifts you gave
    D MajorD
But the field is paved


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G D MajorD    A augmentedA G+G    D MajorD


D MajorD
These nights I work the graveyard at the Burger King downtown

I get off in the morning and I lay my wages down
     G+G
At the convenience store
        D MajorD
Where stood my old front door
  A augmentedA
St. Peter when you call me, you can find me waiting here
 G+G
Beneath this sad mimosa tree with a quart of drive-thru beer
  D MajorD
For home is in the heartland, but the heartland cannot save you
     G+G
When the heart is gone
  D MajorD
And home's moved on
