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
