Biography:
The Flatlanders is an American country band from Lubbock, Texas, founded in 1972 by Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock.
The fact that all that these Texas music titans, on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972, were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic. That each went on to have formidable solo careers is a testament to their talent and determination. Add to this their diverse yet complimentary styles - Joe the street-wise rocker

[Verse 1]
G C
The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground
D G
The country mailman mutters as he motors into town
C
The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see
D G
The way I laughed and the way I cried at the way you treated me
[Chorus]
C G C
The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry
D G
And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry
[Verse 2]
G C
The windshield and the radio play sadly through the night
D G
A crazy blazin' fallin' star just passed me on the right
C
The tail lights down the highway fade low and out of sight
D G
And that farmer's dog can only bark but this cold north wind can bite
[Chorus]
C G C
The ocean babe is watered down but these plains are high and dry
D G
And though you've seen your share of dreams, you've never seen me cry
[Verse 3]
G C
The windbreaks and the watersheds are growin' old this year
D G
The moon breaks in a brand new song while I break in a tear
C
They say that all good things must end, they say what's done is done
D A G
And I guess I should be flyin' 'cause it's killin' me to run
G C
The windmills and the water tanks all stand on solid ground
D G
The country mailman mutters as he motors into town
C
The sunlight came, the sunlight went, the stars came out to see
D G
The way I laughed and the way I cried at the way you treated me
[Chorus]
