[Intro]
NONE
 
 
[Verse]
Am7I asked the man when Texas ended
DHe said if you're lucky it won't
Am7I said I gotta gift I gotta get to Fort Smith
D7I was startin' to lose all hope
 
Am7The night was young when he pulled out a gun
DAnd the bullet just missed my nose
Am7I thought I was delivered when I crossed the big river
D7 DThought I knew, But I just didn't know
 
 
[Refrain}
C C/G D Am7I passed over the Ozarks and onto the Ouachitas
C C/G DI skipped from poverty to poverty
Am7Fenced in in Arkansas
G C GArkansas
 
 
[Verse]
Am7I saw the soybean fields and the flatbed trucks
D7And I watched the concrete creep
Am7Subdivided shoutin' on a blackrock mountain
D7Sayin' this is how it feels to be free
 
Am7I read the scripture on the billboard
7
Prophesying my damnation
Am7Reaching for his life, preachers on his third wife
D7Out in Branson on a big vacation

[Verse]
Am7 D7I saw a nuclear plant homegrown
Am7And I know it ain't fake 'cause they grew it in a lake
D7That they built just to cool its bones
 
Am7And they handed out a lotta badges
DAnd made a lotta energy
Am7That they fired in a wire across state lines
D7While the state slurps up the fee
 
Am7And there's hardly a place that meth ain't
DPlanted a dead white kiss
Am7You can smell it in the air
 
You can see it in the chair
D7It's a pretty damn hard to miss
 
Am7I saw a law officer shrug his whole body
D7Resigned to an American God
Am7Say if they wanted to, they'd help themselves
D7Then he put away his bible and he got out a gun

[Verse]
Am7If God lives up in the Rockies
D7If that's where the big man meddles
Am7Then a lesser being of a lower degree
D DMust've come down there and settled
 
Am7I met revelators and archimandrites
DThe big and the belittled
Am7I reckon all in time deep in my mind
DWe're gonna meet in the middle

[Verse]
Am7 I can't tell ya where one thing ended
D7And another did occur
Am7It was new and it was old to me
DIt was more than I could observe
 
Am7If what is seein's for the taking
D7 DAnd the taking can be seen
Am7I'm gonna need your help with the calculations
D7I'm can't tell ya what it all means
