[Intro]
C Em C Em C Em D C x2
[Verse 1]
C Em C Em I had it with me everywhere I've been C Em D C Red clay under my nails, deep crimson on my skin C Em C Em You could strip me of everything I own C Em D C And just leave me with the memories of my Alabama home
[Chorus]
D C G I guess the highway didn't kill me after all D C G But I thought I was a goner in that trailer fire in Arkansas D C G But I just let her burn and walked away D C C Em C Em C Em D C And crawled back to the crimson and the clay
[Verse 2]
C Em C Em I got a little bolt action for my 9th birthday C Em D C I can flip a silver dollar from a hundred yards away C Em C Em A 1911 under my floor mat C Em D C Then one day it just occurred to me, I got no use for that
[Chorus]
D C G Guess the city didn't kill me after all D C G The thing that nearly took me out was loneliness and alcohol D C G And I just put it down and walked away D C C Em C Em C Em D C And crawled back to the crimson and the clay
[Bridge]
C Em G D See the moon in the morning, I anticipate the night C Em G D Licked the spoon in the kitchen, we prayed to Martha White C Em G D Little noose in a locker, brown eyes crying in the hall C Em G D Rebel flags on the highway, wooden crosses on the wall
[Chorus]
D C G Guess the small town didn't suit me after all D C G There's still so many lonely kids surrounded by the rest of y'all D C G And I can't seem to keep myself away D C C Em C Em C Em D D C Em C Em C Em D C So I head back to the crimson and the clay
