[Verse 1]
A A couple of kids got hit by a
E
Union Pacific train F#m Carrying sheet metal and
household appliances through
D
the pouring rain A They were planning on getting
married after graduation E Had a little baby girl,
trouble came and
F#m
shut it down Things like that ain't
D
supposed to happen [Chorus 1]
A In this quiet town,
E
families are tight F#m Good people, they still don't
D
deadbolt their doors at night A In this quiet town A E F#m D [Verse 2]
A When we first heard opioid stories,
they were always in
E
whispering tones F#m Now banners of sorrow mark the
D
front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through
daddy's girl eulogies A And merit badge milestones
E
with their daughters and sons Laying there lifeless in
F#m
their suits and gowns D Somebody's been keepin' secrets [Chorus 2]
A In this quiet town, they
E
know how to live F#m Good people who lean on Jesus,
D
they're quick to forgive A In this quiet town E E F#m D [Verse 3]
A Now whenever I'm near the town
E
I'll find some reason to give F#m And I will walk with the dead and
the living where
D
I used to live And every time I see my
A
parents in the
prime of their lives E Offering their son the
kind of love
F#m
he could never put down Well, part of me is still that
D
stainless kid, lucky [Chorus 3]
A In this quiet town,
E
salt of the land F#m Hard-working people,
if you're in trouble,
D
they'll lend you a hand A Here in this quiet town
A E F#m D [Bridge] A E F#m D [Outro]
A The first crop of hay is up E School let out and the sun beats down F#m Smoke billows from a Sunday train D That cries away from a quiet town A
