G D When we first heard opioid stories, they were always in whispering tones Em C Now banners of sorrow mark the front steps of childhood homes Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies G D And merit badge milestones with their daughters and sons Em Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns C Somebody's been keepin' secrets G D In this quiet town, they know how to live Em C Good people who lean on Jesus, they're quick to forgive G In this quiet town

G D Now whenever I'm near the town I'll find some reason to give Em C And I will walk with the dead and the living where I used to live G And every time I see my parents in the prime of their lives D Em Offering their son the kind of love he could never put down C Well, part of me is still that stainless kid, lucky G D In this quiet town, salt of the land Em C Hard-working people, if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand G Here in this quiet town

( G D Em C ) G The first crop of hay is up D School let out and the sun beats down Em Smoke billows from a Sunday train C That cries away from a quiet town Final G
