[Verse 1]
GHe works the night shift at the depot
With a pistol and a Dlight
GAnd he guards them rusty missiles
Counting wDhitetail to pass the Gtime
GAnd he's worked there for a long while
Since he came home from overDseas
GHelping Kilcorn fight the good fight
Bring BaDghdad to its kneGes
DAnd it was hotter than the mGountain
DBut it weren't so's he couldn't stGand
GAnd it weren't so much the heat wave
Nearly Das much as all the saGnd
[Repeat Riff]

[Verse 2]
GNow his daddy, he's a log man
With a good leg and a faDke
GThat he got off of a buddy
And a shitDshot that he maGde
GAnd he worked them hands to blisters
And he raised them young'uns rDight
GOn a little bit of scripture
And an acreage of parDadise
DAnd he'd go out on weeGkends
DAnd he played like Clarence GWhite
GBut Clarence had a real job
And picked the guDitar when there was tGime
[Repeat Riff]
(Repeat 2x if there is a solo)

GKeeps a trap line in the winter
Keeps a line wet in the spDring
GOn a lock wall fishing muskie
With his eldest and stDeed
DAnd they swap tales about their raGisin'
DAnd they tell the office liGes
GAnd they go home when they've a notion
And the muDskie quit to biGtin'
