Twin fiddles playing in [D] my memory, my daddy [A] say.
Wonders [E] of old Cowtown, [A].
silver hair and he's still there.
[D] Under a sky so warm and fair, well I [A] tell you friends, [E] there's a song in every [A] town .

[A] [E] [A] .
When the night is real real still, [D] I swear I can hear a whipper-whill.
[A] She knows there's [E] music in the dirt down there .
[A] Hill country rain, [D] it's a cleansing thing.
[A] All I have to do is see one [E] sitting in a shallow creek.
Got [A] nothing to do.
