Max Stalling - Dime Box, Tx guitar chord

Dime Box, Texas

By Max Stalling

D G

There's only one pay phone in Dime Box, Texas

D A

And it's off on a side road there

D

When a stranger wearing dark shades

G

And tears streaming down his face

D A D

Makes a call it's gonna draw some stares

D

Now there's two kids down the street

G

In a puddle ankle deep

D A

Like maybe something Norman Rockwell planned

D

When their father sees the man

G

He runs and grabs their muddy hands

D A D

Wonder who he thinks I am

Chorus 1:

G D

Good people of Dime Box, I'm no Charles Manson

A D

And I did not come to snatch a child

G

Just rambled many miles

D

And need to talk to her for awhile

A D

Find out what this whole thing means

Now the dogs across the road are eyeing me but lying low

Seem to know I don't want to cause a fuss

Watch me suffer on the phone making puddles of my own

Watch me kick the ground and cuss

Chorus 2:

Good dogs of Dime Box thanks for your understanding

You know I wouldn't hurt a flea

Your good natured disposition, your kind hearted intuition

Wish that you could talk to her for me

Now when a man goes driving about he's got some things to figure out

And he takes it all out on the blue and wide

And he prays to god and Chevy lighten up a load that's heavy

And Help him understand how and why

Chorus 3:

Good sheriff of Dime Box, thanks for not arresting me

Thought I'd understand it if you had

My bizarre appearance and my drunken incoherence

I'm sorry for the tears there on your badge

Chorus 4:

Good people of Dime Box, I'm no sick killer

And I did not come to rob nor steal

I just had to stop and phone her and see if its still over

Sounds like that's how she really feels

Oh man, sounds like that's how she really feels
