[G] Next, Red Dirt Country [Dm] Rock from Turnpike [G] Troubadours.
[C] [G] [Dm]
[G] [C] Well I remember smelling smoke, [D] Woke [Em] up I was choking,
[C] Lori grabbed [G] the baby and [D] we made it safe outside.
[C] She never missed [G] a note, [D] [E] Took a breath and cleared her throat,
[C] And wrapped him in a car hard coat [A] she found out in [G] my ride.
[Em] The [G] next thing I remember, [D] I was barefoot [Em] and [C] disembered,
When I hit [G] the door again [D] it really [A] came alive,
[C] But that was all she wrote, [D] In a thirty second hour [C] I got out of the [G] photograph,
[D] And wore a whole lot of blood.
[C] [G] Lord knows that I've been [D] blessed, I can stand [G] up to the test,
[G] I can live on so much [D] less, This much I've been learning,
[C] [G] Feel the pounding in my [D] chest, I'm [G] fearful I'll [C] confess,
How I [G] might have kept my [D] rest, The house I [G] built was burning.
[C] [D]
[G] [C] Well Lori [G] called the [D] volunteers, Siren [Em] music to my [C] ears,
First [G] I've been glad to [D] hear the flashing red and blue,
[C] Camera [G] played the time they [D] gave, There was nothing left to [G] say,
Shake all of their hands and [D] wave they did all [G] they could,
Lord [C]
[G] knows that I've been [D] blessed, I can [G] stand up to the [C] test,
I can [G] live on so much [D] less, This [Em] much I've been [C] learning,
[G] Forgive my [D] cowardice, I'm fearful [G] I'll confess,
How I might have kept my rest, The house I built was burning.
[F] Snuck away [C] two nights ago, Rode [G] around on the motor [F] roads,
Been [C] stuck in a motor [G] home, About to fall apart,
[F] But we [C] finally made it [Am] go, Got [G] down to the heavy blow,
[F] She said I'll [C] bet you know that, [G] It's a long way from [C] home.
[Em] [C] Well I [G] know that I've been [D] blessed, And I can make [G] more out of [C] less,
And I can get [G] my rest in [D] any bed that I [Em] lay down [C] in,
Got [G] nothing holding me, [D]
Got a [G] couple memories,
[C] A picture of [G] the three of [D] us, And my grandfather's crown.
