             D                G
There's only one pay phone in Dime 
Box, Texas
    D                       A
And it's off on a side road there
       D
When a stranger wearing dark shades
    G
And tears streaming down his face
D                 A               
Makes a call it's gonna draw some 
D
stares
            D
Now there's two kids down the street
     G
In a puddle ankle deep
D                                 
Like maybe something Norman 
   A
Rockwell planned
           D
When their father sees the man
            G
He runs and grabs their muddy hands
D             A        D
Wonder who he thinks I am


[Chorus 1]
     G                       D
Good people of Dime Box, I'm no 
Charles Manson
    A                          D
And I did not come to snatch a child

     G
Just rambled many miles
            D
And need to talk to her for awhile
A                              D
Find out what this whole thing means

[Verse]
D                                
Now the dogs across the road are 
G
eyeing me but lying low
D                     A
Seem to know I don't want to cause a
 fuss
D                            G
Watch me suffer on the phone making 
puddles of my own
D                 A          D
Watch me kick the ground and cuss

[Chorus 2]
G                            D
Good dogs of Dime Box thanks for 
your understanding
A                          D
You know I wouldn't hurt a flea
  G                                
Your good natured disposition, your
     D
 kind hearted intuition
A                                 
Wish that you could talk to her 
  D
for me

D                                 
Now when a man goes driving about 
              G
he's got some things to figure out
       D                           
And he takes it all out on the blue
     A
 and wide
      D                      
And he prays to god and Chevy 
             G
lighten up a load that's heavy
     D             A            D
And Help him understand how and why

[Chorus 3]
G                         D
Good sheriff of Dime Box, thanks for
 not arresting me
G                                A
Thought I'd understand it if you had
G                            D
My bizarre appearance and my drunken
 incoherence
    G                           
I'm sorry for the tears there on 
      A
your badge

[Chorus 4]
G                           D
Good people of Dime Box, I'm no sick
 killer
          G                   A
And I did not come to rob nor steal
       G                           
I just had to stop and phone her 
  D
and see if its still over
  G                               
Sounds like that's how she really 
D
feels
           G                       
Oh man, sounds like that's how she 
        D
really feels
