[INTRO] G-Em (3x)

[VERSE]
C                             G
Bobby wished he was from the  past
                Bm                               C
He said those  cars they used to drive were the best
Am                        G
I know that I'm a simple  man
      Bm                    C      D
Even  my dreams I deserve to  have


C                         G
Annabel had plans of her own
                Bm                       C
She said there no way in hell I'm going home
Am                                  G
Cause Mama always thinks she knows best
      Bm                       C      D
God love her, but her life is a mess

[CHORUS]

         Em
I won't change my mind
              Bm                 C
So keep your  hand on my thigh  tonight
        Em
When we get up north
      Bm
We'll buy us a store
         C                    Am    G
I won't fight in an oil man's  war


C                         G
Bobby bought a brand new suit
                Bm                       C
From his friend he borrowed round-toes shoes
Am                             G
Stuffed the money down in his sock
      Bm                     C      D
On his way he bought a wrist corsage

C                          G
But Annie was scared to death
             Bm                           C
She'd never once in her life layed with a man
Am                             G
But she knew it was his only chance
             Bm                 C  D
She bought a white dress second hand

[CHORUS]

         Em
I won't change my mind
              Bm                 C
So keep your  hand on my thigh  tonight
        Em
When we get up north
      Bm
We'll buy us a store
         C                    Am    G
I won't fight in an oil man's  war



[BRIDGE]
Bm                        C
You can't say it's just a matter of pride
Bm                            C
I've been living here since I was a child
    Am                     G
And now I'm just a simple  man
         Bm                    C    D
But even my dreams I deserve to have


[CHORUS]

         Em
I won't change my mind
              Bm                 C
So keep your  hand on my thigh  tonight
        Em
When we get up north
      Bm
We'll buy us a store
         C                      Am
Live upstairs till the kids are born



         Em
And I'm not gonna die
              Bm                 C
So keep your  hand on my thigh  tonight
        Em
When we get up north
      Bm
We'll buy us a store
         C                     Am
I won't fight in an oil man's  war
