[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

The man from Waco

[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

And sleep had escaped him, too consumed by his pride
Like the lonesome and high country he was lost in a haze
And the thoughts of what he'd do if he unloaded all his rage

The clear shallow water just won't say all it knows
A moment of burning anger can curse the living through the days
You can let that river take you but you will never get away
