Dave Carter And Tracy Grammer - Grand Prairie TX Homesick Blues



INTRO: D


Grand Prairie, Texas, home on the range

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

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

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


INSTRUMENTAL: G  D       A  G       D


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

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