Am                                 G
The evening sun was sinkin' down...

F                                                 E
The new-plowed ground was coolin' ...

                Am                           G
Beneath the two-lane concrete river ...

        F                                E
On that hot-bed Farm to Market ...

            Am                                  G
I'm sayin' son you'll see me ...

F                                        E
Dollar signs in both my eyes, ...

 Am                           G
"Jesus, will you send me just ...

             F                                      E
They pay two-fifty down in ...

                  Am                          G
And more than likely they'll be out ...

F                           E
Waddlin' down 1291 to keep ...

                Am                           G
I'm talking walkin' belts and neckties...

            F                                             E
They don't run too fast, don't waste ...

          Am     C    G   D            Am     C    G   D
The armadillo....o....o...o  The armadillo....

(after this use the same chord progression as the first verse)

Never sees me when I hit him with my ....
(repeat until fade)
