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
