G D C x4
[Verse 1]
G D C
Now take a look at their big house
G D C
Bigger than they really needed
G D C
He got the duallies on his pickup
G D C
When the dealer gave him a choice
G D C
Then lost his job on the buildsite
G D C
Now he's struggling to feed his boys
[Chorus]
G C
And the Red Cedar grows
G C
The Red Cedar flows
G C
And long after your gone
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C G D C
It's outlasting you
[Verse 2]
G D C
His wife was his high school girl
G D C
They never left this town
G D C
Well it booms and busts and heaves and rusts
G D C
But they can't bear to go
G D C
Now they couldn't go if they wanted to
G D C
There aint no work anywhere anymore
[Chorus]
G C
And the Red Cedar grows
G C
The Red Cedar flows
G C
And long after your gone
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C G D C
It's outlasting you
[Verse 3]
G D C
She's been serving food down at Bud's
G D C
He can't stand to see her there
G D C
Where the desperate men sit and drink
G D C
And stare too long at her legs
G D C
While he sits home with the kids at night
G D C
And hides the worry on his face
[Chorus]
G C
And the Red Cedar grows
G C
The Red Cedar flows
G C
And long after your gone
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C G D C
It's outlasting you
[Instrumental]

G D C x2
[Verse 4]
G D C
Now their kids are getting bigger
G D C
They can't play outside like it used to be
G D C
You know exactly what's lurking out there
G D C
Brother you can see it on the news every night
G D C
And the villiage that it takes to raise our kids
G D C
Is afraid to come outside
[Chorus]
G C
And the Red Cedar grows
G C
The Red Cedar flows
G C
And long after your gone
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C G D C
It's outlasting you
[Verse 5]
G D C
Tuesday afternoons are the hardest
G D C
When time just seems to stand still
G D C
They have piled up quite a few of them now
G D C
About 20 year's worth of not quite three o'clocks
G D C
And time moves as fast as it ever did
G D C
There ain't nothing you can do to slow it down
[Chorus]
G C
And the Red Cedar grows
G C
The Red Cedar flows
G C
And long after your gone
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C
E|t's| outlasting yo--u lord
G D C Am G
It's outlasting you
