Verse 1
G
C
G
It goes on for miles, staking my claim
C
G
One my grandfather,
D
Em
etched in my name
G
C
G
Made of barbed wire, sharp to the touch
C
G
Lines have been drawn by the
D
Em
blood from these cuts
Am
G
C
And the fences are here for the cattle
Am
At least that's what I've
G
Em
D
al ways believed
Am
G
But I stand here at odds
Em
C
with my shadow
Am
G
Safely surrounded by
D
Am
these lines in the dirt
G
D
Lines in the dirt
Am
Lines in the dirt
G
D
These lines
G
This place it reminds me
C
G
Of things I let go
C
G
Like songs that I started
D
Em
but no longer know
G
And when I lay my head
C
G
down close to the earth
C
G
D
Em
I listen to reason for what it is worth
Am
And the wind whistles down
G
C
through the valley
Am
It's a sound that's
G
D
become part of me
Am
G
C
And I look to the west for the skyline
Am
G
Through the dust in my eyes all I see
D
Am
Are lines in the dirt
G
D
Lines in the dirt
Am
Lines in the dirt
G
D
These lies
C
And the sparrows fly over me
G
D
Free from humanity
C
They don't know all the history
G
D
The curses, the sanctity
Of this dirt
G
The sun it beats down now
C
G
While soldiers' young hearts
C
G
Are put there to finish
D
Em
what the other side starts
G
And some will come home
C
G
From the front lines of war
C
G
And ponder their brothers
D
Em
who died by their swords
Am
G
And the lines have been drawn
C
by their fathers
Am
G
At least that's what they're led to believe
D
Am
G
C
But the fight, goes way past the borders
Am
G
Into battles so poorly conceived
D
Am
Oh, lion's in the dirt
G
The lion's in the dirt
D
Am
The lion's in the dirt
G
D
Am
G
Lies in the dirt
