Jeffrey Foucault - Des Moines
[VERSE 1:]
That night in Des MoDines
Goner'd streets Em7dying
Sunset Gbuildings
Cut with shadeD  
We sent our smoke
Up through the Em7streetlights
We sent our Gprayers out
Through an old P.DA.
That night in Des Em7Moines
That night in Des DMoines
[VERSE 2:]
That night in Des Moines
Too late for Em7supper
Yeah, we Gsat at the bar
And we drank three Dbeers
And we watched the house
Filling up with Em7no one
But goGd was listening
And he cupped his earD  
That night in Des Em7Moines
That night in Des DMoines
[INSTRUMENTAL:]          D      Em7      G           D      Em7      G  D  
[VERSE 3:]
That night in Des Moines
Picked you up at the Em7airport
I threw your rig in the Gback seat
And I shook your Dhand
And the heat from the asphalt
It was liquid and Em7dancing
And we walked to the Gfront door
Like a rock 'n' roll Dband
That night in Des Em7Moines
That night in Des MDoines
[VERSE 4:]
That night in Des Moines
We slept at your Mom's Em7house
We drove east in the Gdarkness
Toward a whole new Dday
And the lights on the big trucks
Were like gun cameEm7ra tracers
On I-80 at Gmidnight
There was nothing to sayD

We sent our prayers out

Through an old P.A.

Filling up with no one

But god was listening

And he cupped his ear
