<code> Going to Lubbock

G C G G C G

G C G he drove north out of dallas on a tuesday afternoon G C the summer wind was sweet in his mouth

      G

as the engine whistled a solitary tune

         G                      C

ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere

         G

among the rocks and the tumbleweeds and the dust

             G                           C

he popped the trunk and he pulled out a shovel

   G

and pumped the dull blade through the earth's tough crust

       C                                G             D

when he dug up the human skull that was bigger than a basketball

G C he took one step back G D he took one step back

        G

into the sunlight

he stood there by the roadside underneath the clear blue sky and ancient stories ran through his mind as the certain detail caught his eye there was a pronouned depression along the skull's occipital bone his face burned in the dry june sun and his forehead dripped like an ice cream cone he laid the skull down gently in the back seat and in his mouth the summer wind was sweet

he took one step back he took one step back into the sunlight
