[Intro]
C Em C Em C Em D C x2
[Verse 1]
C Em C EmI had it with me everywhere I've been
C Em D CRed clay under my nails, deep crimson on my skin
C Em C EmYou could strip me of everything I own
C Em D CAnd just leave me with the memories of my Alabama home
[Chorus]
D C GI guess the highway didn't kill me after all
D C GBut I thought I was a goner in that trailer fire in Arkansas
D C GBut I just let her burn and walked away
D C C Em C Em C Em D CAnd crawled back to the crimson and the clay
[Verse 2]
C Em C EmI got a little bolt action for my 9th birthday
C Em D CI can flip a silver dollar from a hundred yards away
C Em C Em
A 1911 under my floor mat
C Em D CThen one day it just occurred to me, I got no use for that
[Chorus]
D C GGuess the city didn't kill me after all
D C GThe thing that nearly took me out was loneliness and alcohol
D C GAnd I just put it down and walked away
D C C Em C Em C Em D CAnd crawled back to the crimson and the clay
[Bridge]
C Em G DSee the moon in the morning, I anticipate the night
C Em G DLicked the spoon in the kitchen, we prayed to Martha White
C Em G DLittle noose in a locker, brown eyes crying in the hall
C Em G DRebel flags on the highway, wooden crosses on the wall
[Chorus]
D C GGuess the small town didn't suit me after all
D C GThere's still so many lonely kids surrounded by the rest of y'all
D C GAnd I can't seem to keep myself away
D D C Em C Em C Em D D C Em C Em C Em D CSo I head back to the crimson and the clay
