[verse 1]
C F G C C C F G
And I, I was married in the town where I was born
C F G C C C F G
And the rain, it pooled in the fields around the farm
C F G C C C F G
And her, the dust in her hair and my kid in her arms
C F G C C C F G
I bent early, one night in the winds of a silent storm
[Bridge]
Dm7 Am
My skin in her mother's hands
Dm7 Am
Dishsoap and a wedding band
Dm7 G C C C F
One voice, it only speaks so loud here
F G C C C F G
One voice, it only speaks so loud here
[Verse 2]
C F G C C C F G
And Bobby, under the awning to shake the sun
C F G C C C F G
He says listen, on the hottest day when it's dead and calm
C F G C C C F G
And the sound is like a freight train rolling through
C F G C C C F G
And the rain, when it stops you'll know what's coming through
[Bridge]
Dm7 Am
Don't fill his head with that
Dm7 Am
The boy's only two and a half
Dm7 G
One voice, it only speaks
C
To call your name
G
And to take you out
F G C
Past the dirt gray fields and miles of telephone lines
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
C F G C C C F G
And three, it was three long years ago
C F G C C C F G
And five, five years comes sometime after four
C F G C C C F G
And I, I dunked my head in the stream and prayed
C F G C C C F G
And the water, it listened but it don't carry away
[Fade out]
