[Verse 1]
G                         C
In '81 I was just a drink on the shelf, a daiquiri
           G                         Em
Not even a thought til sometime in July
              G
Sometime in July
 
[Verse 2]
G
And something happened in '84
C
I ended up with two places to be from
                             G
The only tree with leaves in Lubbock
                      Em
With roots in Mineral Wells
        G
Mineral Wells
 
[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
    A7             D
And oh, I know, it shows
                                    G
I'm another one still thirsting for my home

[Verse 3]
G
There's a spot under the train track trestles
C
The water's too deep to stand in
                   G
And you were there once
                           Em
We climb the sandstone and jump in
                          G
Hold your breath and jump in
 
[Verse 4]
G
We take the airboats way upstream
C
The heat's tiring and I fall asleep
              G
In my folding chair
                              Em
I dreamed Dad was smoking cigarettes
                               G
He always had one hanging from his lips
 
[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
    A7             D
And oh, I know, it shows
                                    G
I'm another one still thirsting for my home

[Verse 5]
G
I've tried drinking water from the Gibson well
C
Folks before me say, "it cures what ails ya"
                    G
I think it might be true
                              Em
That there's something in the well
           G
In Mineral Wells
 
[Chorus]
G
At night I dream I'm in the Brazos River
D
Pines and cypress of the West Cross Timbers
    A7             D
And oh, I know, it shows
                                    G
I'm another one still thirsting for my home
