Hi[Intro]
C C C C
[Verse 1]
C G
The parking lot is rammed
C
with shotgun pickup trucks
F
At the Jones Rubber plant
C
where all the guys end up
F
Beer-drinking boy
scouts living life
C
like they ain't stuck
Am G
On these quicksand streets
F
with their girls in a sling
Am G
I'm in my bedroom on the verge
C
of a terrible thing
[Verse 2]
C G
Around here, we all take up our cross
C
and hang on His holy name
F
But the cards that I was dealt
C
will get you thrown out of the game
F
Hey momma, can't you
see your boy is
C
wrapped up in the strangle silk
Am G
Of this cobweb town
F
where culture is king?
Am G
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a
C
terrible thing
[Chorus]
F Am
I close my eyes
C
and think of the water
F Am
Out at the Salt Creek
G
when I was young
[Verse 3]
C G
Down at Old Mill Park,
C
half the town's in tow
F
To crown the
C
Bathing Beauty of the rodeo
F
While her mother fights back
proud tears a
C
young cowboy gives the nod
Am G
The chute opens, bull draws blood,
F
and the gift is accepted by God
Am G
The chute opens, bull draws blood,
F
and the gift is accepted by God
Am G
In this barbed wire town
F
of barbed wire dreams
Am G
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a
C
terrible thing
[Chorus]
F Am
I close my eyes
C
and think of the water
F Am
Out at the Salt Creek
G
when I was young
F Am
I close my eyes
C
and think of the water
F Am
Out at the Salt Creek
G
when I was young
