composed by James McMurtry
Capo 2
[Intro]
D G D Bm G
[Verse]
D
Flatter than a tabletop
G
Makes you wonder why they stopped here
D Bm G
Wagon must have lost a wheel or they lacked ambition one
D
On the great migration west
G
Separated from the rest
D Bm
Though they might have tried their best
G
They never caught the sun
[Chorus]
A
So they sunk some roots down in the dirt
G
To keep from blowin' off the earth
A
Built a town around here
G A
And when the dust had all but cleared
D G A
They called it Levelland, the pride of man
D G A
In Levelland
[Verse]
D
Granddad grew the dry land wheat
G
Stood on his own two feet
D Bm G
His mind got incomplete and they put him into the home
D
Daddy's cotton grows so high
G
Sucks the water table dry
D Bm
Rollin’ sprinklers circle by
G
Bleedin' them to the bone
[Chorus]
A
And I won't be here when it comes a day
