Intro:
(G)  (Cadd9)  (G)  (Cadd9)  x 2

Verse:
   G               D/F#       Em7
It seems like over night, the town of Red River
    C                        D
Was suddenly full of strange men
         C
Who wore suits in the summer
    G/B                      A                                D
And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind
    G            D/F#        Em7
And some of them smiled, and some of them didn't
    C                        D
And none of them came back a gain
      G       D/F#      Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
    C       G/B    C          G/B
The last 50 acres, apparently didn't
C      D             G
Mean a damn thing to them

Instrumental:
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

Verse:
  G            D/F#       Em7
I stood on the hill, over looking Red River
         C                   D
Where my momma and her momma lay
    C                               G/B
And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat
        A                            D
As they tore up the woods where I pl ayed
            G         D/F#         Em7
And I said, Momma for give me, but I'm almost glad,
     C                  D
That you're not here to day
      G       D/F#      Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilsons
           C       G/B          C             G/B
To see the last 50 acres in the hands of some body
           C        D         G
That would actually blow it a way

    G            D/F#            Em7
You know the Bus station, in the town of Red River
C                      D
Used to be the general store.
    C
But now they got a new one.
        G/B                  A                          D
And you know that's ok, if a bus is what you're looking for
   G         D/F#              Em7
So early one morning, when the sun cut red
C                 D
I got up with the dawn
      G       D/F#      Em7
After 5 gener ations of Rock County Wilson's
    C             G/B          C        D
The last one just climbed on a big gray dog
(N.C) And was gone
