Verse 1:

G          A
Rode out of this forgotten town
C        D
Had to watch my old horse drown
G       A
Buried by the river
     C       D
Chocolate colored by the mud

Chorus:

Bm       Em
When we young we were judged
    C        G
By the choices that we made
Bm         Em
And all the time we wasted and
  C     A       D
The love, the love that I betrayed
Well

Verse 2:

G           A
They built the dam and everything changed
C       D
Little houses huddled on the range
G     A
Fear came rolling in
  C       D
And covered up the sun

Chorus:

Bm       Em
In the land of milk and honey
    C        G
That's where I laid my claim
Bm         Em
But every day that I lost money
  C     A       D
It brought me closer to the grave

Bridge:

D     C
Where the river don't flow
D     C
Where the grass don't grow

Verse 3:

G       A
Preacher had a cross to bear
C       D
He smelled salvation in the air
G        A
Tempted by the silver and gold
    C        D
Put him six feet in the ground

Chorus:

Bm        Em
I came across her by the road
C           G
Dressed in her Sunday best
Bm          Em
She took my hand and led me home
    C     A        D
To the place, the place I can't forget

Where the river don't flow
D     C
Where the grass don't grow

Verse 4:

G      A
Living in a makeshift tent
C       D
Couldn't find money for the rent
G           A
Do you believe in the kingdom to come
    C       D
And the promise of the word

Chorus:

Bm       Em
In the land of milk and honey
    C        G
That's where I laid my claim
Bm         Em
But every day that I lost money
  C     A       D
It brought me closer to the grave

Bridge:

D     C
Where the river don't flow
D     C
Where the grass don't grow
D     C
Where the river don't flow
D     C
Where the grass don't grow
