A# A couple of kids got hit by F a Union Pacific train Gm Carrying sheet metal and household D# appliances through the pouring rain A# They were planning on getting married after graduation F Had a little baby girl, Gm trouble came and shut it down D# Things like that ain't supposed to happen Chorus: A# F In this quiet town, families are tight Gm Good people, D# they still don't deadbolt their doors at night A# In this quiet town When we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns Somebody's been keepin' secrets Chorus: In this quiet town, they know how to live Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive In this quiet town A# Now whenever I'm near the town F I'll find some reason to give Gm And I will walk with the dead D# and the living where I used to live And every time A# I see my parents in the prime of their lives F Offering their son Gm the kind of love he could never put down Well, part of me is still D# that stainless kid, lucky Chorus: In this quiet town, salt of the land Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand Here in this quiet town A# The first crop of hay is up F School let out and the sun beats down Gm Smoke billows from a Sunday train D# That cries away from a quiet town | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Chords fingeringsA# D# F Gm |
