INTRO: GTR1 plays FIG.1


VERSE1: GTR1 plays FIG.1
And from a tiny river town you came.
With momma's rockstar dreams in tow and daddy's brains.
But the rats they fought you, oh yeah, tooth and nail.
With the way they rig this game, you had to fail.
C(let ring)
But that's all behind you now boy


VERSE2: GTR1 plays FIG.1, GTR2 plays FIG.2
And from a tiny river town you came.
With nothin' up your sleeve but a dirty forearm and an ace.
They drug you through that slaughterhouse at will.
C(let ring)
You were the soldier without a kill.
Bb(w/dist.)
You were the soldier without a kill.

VERSE3: GTR1 plays FIG.1
And from a tiny river town you came.
Across the Rocky Mountains all in search of better days(GTR2 starts FIG.2)
But paradise took you out and left the bill.
C(let ring)
You were the healer without the thrill
Bb5(w/dist.) (bass plays C)
You were ecstasy without the pill

And from a tiny river town you came.
With momma's rockstar dreams in tow and daddy's brains.
(GTR2 starts FIG.2, GTR1 plays FIG.1 w/slight dist.)
You'd better turn back before the frost sets in.
C(let ring)
These desert nights are for weathered men.

The ones who've already given in.

this song seems to be about a young man making a journey. someone doesnt want him to go, and they;re trying to convince him not to go. im probably wrong, but whatever, i think its a very good song,

I agrre with the colorsblue, I think it is a love song, with a bit of sex in it kinda.. anyway, I dont think its their best song ever, but the lyrics are nice. The music is a bit, too unoriginal, but they have changed so much from the "Throwing Copper" days

i think it's more of the journey of life, about being naive. people giving advice but just keep going on not listening, just that you have to learn everything the hard way even if you get dragged through the mud.

I found this quoted by Ed.... "When I sit down to write a song, I always feel like I’m wading into a river where a nurturing female presence guides me and pushes me along when I need it.” Awww how sweet. :)
