DANNY RIVERA - Lead Vocals, Acoustic and Electric Guitar, Banjo, Dobro and Lap Steel.
Danny began his musical career as a roadie for a south Texas band. Down time between shows left room for one of the band members to show him a couple of chords on the guitar. Those three chords sparked an interest in performing that has been going strong ever since. "Once it's in your blood - it's hard to stop", he says. Life on the road landed him a regular gig with capital recording artist Allison Paige

GCadd9G In Knox County nobody was famous GCadd9G Just a map dot that people passed through GCadd9G Everybody grew Corn and tomatoes, yeah GDG(Begin strum pattern. I use D-DU-UDU.) At least as far as we knew
GCadd9G Old man Beckett on 200 acres GCadd9G From sunup till sundown he worked GCadd9G Just like the rest of our neighbors GDG He seemed like the salt of the earth
CFmaj7C But we all knew something was different GD When the market hit bottom that year GCadd9G While the rest of the county was starvin' EmDG He brought home a brand new John Deere
GCadd9G Well that rumor mill started churning GCadd9G Down at the Lucky Dog Cafe GCadd9G And it spread thru our Church Congregation GDG When he threw a grand in the plate
CFmaj7C Had his lotto numbers gone lucky GD Or did some rich relative die GCadd9G Where on God's earth did he get the money GDG To install that Jacuzzi outside

[Bridge]
A One night after fishin with all of the fellas AF#m Curiosity got the best of us. A So we crept thru his corn rows with flashlights and high hopes AF#m To see what the truth really was EDA Till we were stopped by a shot from his gun, run
ADA We scattered in every direction ADA Grateful to get out alive ADA What happened that night was never mentioned AEA Till the day they arrived
DGD With helicopters and squad cars AE They completely surrounded his place ADA They cut down all of his cash crops F#mEA I can still see the shame on his face
DGD As they hauled him away in those handcuffs AE For growin' what he shouldn't grow ADA He said "Careful kids one day you'll end up F#mEA Reapin' the seeds that you sew
(Strum once for the last verse)
ADA In Knox County nobody was famous ADA Just a map dot that people passed through ADA Everybody grew corn and tomatoes, yeah AEA At least as far as we knew
