[Intro]
 
G C G C
 
[Verse 1]
 
G                   A
Rode out of this forgotten town
C                D
Had to watch my old horse drown
G              A
Buried by the river
          C              D
Chocolate colored by the mud
 
[Chorus]
 
Bm             Em
When we young we were judged
       C               G
By the choices that we made
Bm                  Em
And all the time we wasted and
    C          A              D
The love, the love that I betrayed
Well [Verse 2] G A They built the dam and everything changed C D Little houses huddled on the range G A Fear came rolling in C D And covered up the sun [Chorus] Bm Em In the land of milk and honey C G That's where I laid my claim Bm Em But every day that I lost money C A D It brought me closer to the grave [Bridge] D C Where the river don't flow D C Where the grass don't grow [Verse 3] G A Preacher had a cross to bear C D He smelled salvation in the air G A Tempted by the silver and gold C D Put him six feet in the ground [Chorus] Bm Em I came across her by the road C G Dressed in her Sunday best Bm Em She took my hand and led me home C A D To the place, the place I can't forget [Bridge] D C Where the river don't flow D C Where the grass don't grow [Verse 4] G A Living in a makeshift tent C D Couldn't find money for the rent G A Do you believe in the kingdom to come C D And the promise of the word [Chorus] Bm Em In the land of milk and honey C G That's where I laid my claim Bm Em But every day that I lost money C A D It brought me closer to the grave [Bridge] D C Where the river don't flow D C Where the grass don't grow D C Where the river don't flow D C Where the grass don't grow
