CWell, I never planned to stay
Even as a kid it seemed too gray
FSecretly I’d wait, Gplotting my escape
AmBut a town like this just Ghas a way of keCeping you
CWhen papa suddenly up and passed away
FMama was never the same and it mGeant more chores for me
There wasn’t Amtime to cry, Gwe still had a fFarm to run
CBeaumont Blues #1
CWhen I met Savannah Jean we were barely both sixteen
FWe got to kissing quick, enGded up with a kid
AmWe were scared a s hell, Gbroke as well, but we marCried
On the day they closed the factory, they cut us out at three
FWith only two weeks worth of severance and Ga hundred heaps of misery
AmI told my wife and little LoGraBelle, “Girls, we’ll Fmake do”
Beaumont Blues #2
CMy folks got married here, are buried here, aE7nd I carry the family name
CI’m proud of what Fthey did, but dammit if I ain’t dFoomed to do the same
GI ain’t doomed to do the Csame
Dear Sheriff Holloway, I never meant to murder Cody WhiteC  
AmBut I saw there, Fshot him dead, for hGe had bed my wife
AmI grabbed LoraBGelle and bolted east towards CSmithville
CI write you in surrender from the Katy House Motel
FSend your boys to drag me back and Gput me in the darkest cell
AmThose bars won’t feel no diGfferent than those city lFines did to me
Beaumont Blues #3
CI’ll two-step to the chair in deaFd man’s shoes
