Quiet Town

G                                 
A couple of kids got hit by a 
           D
Union Pacific train
C          Em
Carrying sheet metal and 
household appliances through the 
pouring rain
G
They were planning on getting 
married after graduation
D                                 
Had a little baby girl, trouble 
                Em
came and shut it down
Things like that ain't supposed to 
 C
happen

              G                 
In this quiet town, families are 
  D
tight
         Em                  
Good people, they still don't 
                          C
deadbolt their doors at night
                G
In this quiet town

                    G              
When we first heard opioid stories,
 they were always in whispering 
 D
tones
    Em                             
Now banners of sorrow mark the 
                     C
front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through daddy's girl 
eulogies

G                             
And merit badge milestones with 
                       D
their daughters and sons
Laying there lifeless in their suits
     Em
 and gowns
                         C
Somebody's been keepin' secrets

               G                   
In this quiet town, they know how 
   D
to live
      Em                      
Good people who lean on Jesus, 
                     C
they're quick to forgive
                G

                G                  
Now whenever I'm near the town I'll
                      D
 find some reason to give
            Em                   
And I will walk with the dead and 
                             C
the living where I used to live
And every time I see my parents in 
 G
the prime of their lives
                D                  
Offering their son the kind of love
                     Em
 he could never put down
Well, part of me is still that 
 C
stainless kid, lucky

               G                 D
In this quiet town, salt of the land
               Em                
Hard-working people, if you're in 
                              C
trouble, they'll lend you a hand
                     G
Here in this quiet town

G
The first crop of hay is up
D
School let out and the sun beats 
down
Em
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
C
That cries away from a quiet town
