G
He works the night shift at the depot

                    D
With a pistol and a light

G
And he guards them rusty missiles

          D                    G
Counting whitetail to pass the time

G
And he's worked there for a long while

                            D
Since he came home from overseas

G
Helping Kilcorn fight the good fight

        D               G
Bring Baghdad to its knees

D                           G
And it was hotter than the mountain

D                                 G
But it weren't so's he couldn't stand

G
And it weren't so much the heat wave

       D                    G
Nearly as much as all the sand

             G                                             D

G
Now his daddy, he's a log man

                        D
With a good leg and a fake

G
That he got off of a buddy

          D              G
And a shitshot that he made

G
And he worked them hands to splinters

                              D
And he raised them young'uns right

G
On a little bit of scripture

          D           G
And an acreage of paradise

D                      G
And he'd go out on the weekend

D                           G
And he played like Clarence White

G
But Clarence had a real job

                 D                    G
And picked the guitar when there was time

(Repeat 2x if there is a solo)

G
Keeps a trap line in the winter

                          D
Keeps a line wet in the spring

G
On a lock wall fishing muskie

         D          G
With his eldest and Steve

D                                 G
And they swap tales about their raisin'

D                          G
And they tell the awfulest lies

G
And they go home when they've a notion

          D              G
And the muskie quit to bitin'
