VerseI had it Cwith me Emeverywhere I've CbeenEm
Red Cclay under my Emnails, deep Dcrimson on Cmy skin
You could sCtrip meEm of everything CI ownEm
And just Cleave me with the Emmemories of my DAlabama ChomeChorusI guess the Dhighway didn't Ckill me after Gall
But I Dthought I was a Cgoner in that Gtrailer fire in Arkansas
But DI just let her Cburn and walked aGway
And Dcrawled back to theC crimson and the CclEmayCEmCEmDC.
VerseI got a little Cbolt actionEm for my 9th CbirthdayEm
I can Cflip a silEmver dollar from a Dhundred yards aCway
A 19C11Em under my Cfloor matEm
Then one Cday it just oEmccurred to me, I Dgot no useC for that
Guess the Dcity didn't Ckill me after Gall
The Dthing that nearlyC took me out was Gloneliness and alcohol
And DI just put it Cdown and walked awayG.
And Dcrawled back to theC crimson and the CclEmayCEmCEmDC.
ChorusCSee the moonEm in the morD/F#ningGI anticipate the Dnight
CLicked the spoonEm in the kiD/F#tchen.Gwe prayed to DMartha White
CLittle nooseEm in a lockD/F#erbrGown eyes crying in the hDall
CRebel flagsEm on the higD/F#hwayGwooden crosses on the Dwall
OutroGuess the sDmall town Cdidn't suit me after Gall
There's sDtill so many Clonely kids suGrrounded by the rest of y'all
And DI can't seem to Ckeep myself aGway
So I Dhead back to the Ccrimson and the CclEmayCEmCEmDC.
