It seems like overnight, the town of Red River

Was suddenly full of strange men

Who wore suits in the summer

And stood on the dirt roads, trying to hold their maps in the wind

And some of them smiled, and some of them didn?

And none of them came back again
G Em
After 5 generations of Rock County Wilson?

The last 50 acres, apparently they didn? mean a damn thing to them

I stood on the hill, overlooking Red River, where my momma and her momma

And listened to the growling of the big diesel cat, as they tore up the

And I said Momma forgive me, but I?almost glad, that you? not here
today
