Verse 1:
A augmentedA
Back in the country

Livin' on the double e

In the sunshine of her life

There's a ready young filly

But when they go out dancin'

She breaks out on her own

When Edith and Earl

Renamed the double e

They nearly made history

neighbours rose up

And some of them were mad as hell
     FF       G+G   A augmentedA
'cause it used to be the double L.

Change comes slow in the country

When you're new, there's a lot of distrust
G+G     D MajorD   A augmentedA
Years pass by uneventful,

And memories turn to dust.

Meanwhile granny

The sunshine in her eyes
A augmentedA
Cruisin' by the bars
            C majorC    D MajorD
And honky tonks where she met grandpa
  FF      G+G      A augmentedA
And caught that young man's eye.

Dusty white eldorado

Slippin' through the shadows

Of what used to be
