[Verse 1]
    C              G         
The parking lot is rammed with 
          C
shotgun pickup trucks
       F                           
At the Jones Rubber plant where all
    C
 the guys end up
F                                 
Beer-drinking boy scouts living 
        C
life like they ain't stuck
         Am                G      
On these quicksand streets   with 
                 F
their girls in a sling
          Am             G        
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of 
           C
a terrible thing


[Verse 2]
                C              
'Round here, we all take up our 
 G         C
cross and hang on His holy name
        F                          
But the cards that I was dealt will
                C
 get you thrown out of the game

    F                              
Hey momma, can't you see your boy 
                    C
is wrapped up in the strangle silk
        Am          G             
Of this cobweb town   where 
     F
culture is king?
          Am             G        
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of 
           C
a terrible thing


[Chorus]
           F    Am                
I close my eyes     and think of 
  C
the water
           F          Am          
Out at the Salt Creek     when I 
  G
was young


[Verse 3]
C               G               
Down at Old Mill Park, half the 
C
town's in tow
   F                              
To crown the Bathing Beauty of the 
C
rodeo
          F                        
While her mother fights back proud 
             C
tears a young cowboy gives the nod
          Am                G     
The chute opens, bull draws blood,
                F
 and the gift is accepted by God
          Am                G     
The chute opens, bull draws blood,
                F
 and the gift is accepted by God
        Am                G   
In this barbed wire town     of 
             F
barbed wire dreams
          Am             G        
I'm in my bedroom on the verge of 
          C
a terrible thing


[Chorus]
           F    Am                
I close my eyes     and think of 
  C
the water
           F          Am          
Out at the Salt Creek     when I 
  G
was young
           F    Am                
I close my eyes     and think of 
  C
the water
                F     Am          
Out at the Salt Creek     when I 
  G
was young
