[Verse]
Am C F C
The mirage of Del Rio it was burning in his eyes
Am C F G
And sleep had escaped him, too consumed by his pride
Am C F C
Like the lonesome and high country he was lost in a haze
Am C F C
And the thoughts of what he’d do if he unloaded all his rage

[Verse]
Am C F C
The city was almost silent as he passed the humming signs
Am C F G
On the corner he heard laughter, made him afraid of what he’d find
Am C F C
He pushed through the door, hypnotized by a sound
Am C F C
Just then tears overcame him and his heart began to drown

[Verse]
Am C F C
It was there that he shot her while the lovers were embraced
Am C F G
With the bullet he intended for the man who took his place
Am C F C
He cried through the night as he made his escape
Am C F C
But the rain that was fallin’ could not wash away his shame

[Verse]
Am C F C
On the banks of the Brazos, where the desert willow grows
Am C F G
The clear shallow water just won’t say all it knows
Am C F C
A moment of burning anger can curse the living through the days
Am C F C
You can let that river take you but you will never get away
