      C                  Bb                F                   C 
Well, me and the girl we had a little farm south of the river road. 
   C                            Bb                       F            C 
A little single shack and some cattle in the barn and we grew our own food. 
    C              Bb           F                  C 
We didn't have any money but it never crossed our minds

And a government man with a fat cigar said we couldn't live there anymore 
            C              Bb        F                    C 
Said they'd pay us for the land but never for the work we did 
               C                     Bb                  F                C 
And they were gonna turn it in to a holiday park and a drag-strip for the kids

I told him, I would meet him on the Indiana road with a gun in my hand but he never showed 
C                 Bb              F                 C 
Said he couldn't bring himself to sink himself that low

Well we wired ahead and the girl's family said to come back to Calgary 
C               Bb           F                     C 
We decided that she would go on back there without me 
         C                   Bb                     F                   C 
And I'll never forget those tears in her eyes as I held her face in my hand 
   C                  Bb                    F                   C 
I turned around and I headed for town and I never looked back again
