Chris Knight

Intro:  F////////B////////F////////B////////

          F                      B
I built a fire up on the hill, I sat in the woods and drank my fill
          F              B
Talked to God all night, took another shot at setting me right
       C                  F               B                F
Then I walked down to the road , filled a beer can full of .22 holes
       C                    B
Then I said goodbye, yeah I said goodbye

Chorus 
       C                   F                        B                  F
I'd go back but I can't go home, cause the river is up and the road is closed
          C           F                    B
and there ain't no telephone.........at my mother's house
            C                                F           B
and all the lights are out......down on the rural route

      F                                B
There ain't much of nothin' left, this place where I became myself

Ghosts and memories, I'd walk on by , but they'd follow me
