A#
A couple of kids got hit by
                  F
a Union Pacific train
           Gm
Carrying sheet metal and household 
                                D#
appliances through the pouring rain
            A#
They were planning on getting
married after graduation
       F
Had a little baby girl,
                         Gm
trouble came and shut it down
                                    D#
Things like that ain't supposed to happen

Chorus:
               A#                 F
In this quiet town, families are tight
      Gm
Good people,
                                          D#
they still don't deadbolt their doors at night
               A#
In this quiet town

When we first heard opioid stories,
they were always in whispering tones
Now banners of sorrow mark
the front steps of childhood homes
Parents wept through daddy's girl eulogies
And merit badge milestones with
their daughters and sons
Laying there lifeless in their suits and gowns
Somebody's been keepin' secrets

Chorus:
In this quiet town, they know how to live
Good people who lean on Jesus,
they're quick to forgive
In this quiet town

                 A#
Now whenever I'm near the town
                          F
I'll find some reason to give
            Gm
And I will walk with the dead
                                D#
and the living where I used to live

And every time
                          A#
I see my parents in the prime of their lives
                F
Offering their son
                                    Gm
the kind of love he could never put down

Well, part of me is still
       D#
that stainless kid, lucky

Chorus:
In this quiet town, salt of the land
Hard-working people,
if you're in trouble, they'll lend you a hand
Here in this quiet town

A#
The first crop of hay is up
F
School let out and the sun beats down
Gm
Smoke billows from a Sunday train
      D#
That cries away from a quiet town
