Armadillo Jackal

(início)

Am                                 G
The evening sun was sinkin' down, a chill north wind a-blows
F                                                 E
The new-plowed ground was coolin' fast, the river rolls and flows
                Am                           G
Beneath the two-lane concrete river bridge between my place and town
        F                                E
On that hot-bed Farm to Market road they call 1291
            Am                                  G
I'm sayin' son you'll see me searchin'; sizzlin' down that broad hiway
F                                        E
Dollar signs in both my eyes, I'm seekin' out my prey.  I'm prayin'
 Am                           G
"Jesus, will you send me just another three or four?"
             F                                      E
They pay two-fifty down in Halletsville, 3 dollars, maybe more.
                  Am                          G
And more than likely they'll be out tonight a-wanderin' from the farms;
F                           E
Waddlin' down 1291 to keep their bodies warm.
                Am                           G
I'm talking walkin' belts and neckties, and boots for rodeo;
            F                                             E
They don't run too fast, don't waste much gas.  I'm makin' lots o'dough.
