Five Generations Of Rock County Wilsons |
| It seemed like overnight the town of Red River |
| Was suddenly full of strange men |
| They wore suits in the Summer stood on the dirt roads |
| Trying to hold their maps in the wind |
| Some of them smiled and some of them didn’t |
| None of them came back again |
| After five generations of Rock Country Wilsons and |
| The last fifty acres apparently didn’t mean |
| A damn thing to them |
| I stood on the hill overlooking Red River |
| Where my mama and her mama lay |
| And I listened to the growling of the big diesel cats |
| As they tore up the woods where I played |
| I said mama forgive me I’m almost glad that you’re not here today |
| After five generations of Rock County Wilsons |
| To see the last fifty acres in the hands of somebody |
| Who would actually blow it away |
| You know the bus station in the town of Red River |
| Used to be the general store |
| But now they’ve got a new one I know that’s okay |
| If a bus is what you’re looking for |
| So early one morning when the sun got red |
| I got up with the dawn |
| After five generations of Rock County Wilsons |
| The last one just climbed on a big ole gray dog |
| And was gone |
