🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC                 C majorC
She don't like her eggs all runny, she thinks crossin' her legs is funny
FF                   C majorC
She looks down her nose at money, she gets it on like the Easter Bunny
G+G                 G+G          C majorC
She's my baby
I'm her honey
I'm never gonna let her go

🎸 Verse 2:
     C majorC
Well, he ain't got laid in a month of Sundays
 C majorC
I caught him once 'n he was sniffin' my undies
  FF                     C majorC
He ain't real sharp but he gets things done, drinks his beer like it's oxygen
G+G                          C majorC
He's my baby, and I'm his honey, never gonna let him go


🎸 Chorus:
      FF                   C majorC
In spite of ourselves, we'll end up a-sittin' on a rainbow
      G+G                C majorC
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
      FF                C majorC
We’re gonna spite our noses right off of our faces
                  G+G           C majorC
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts dancin' in our eyes

C majorC                 C majorC
She thinks all my jokes are corny, convict movies make her horny
FF                    C majorC
She likes ketchup on her scrambled eggs, swears like a sailor when she shaves her legs
  G+G                             C majorC
She takes a lickin', and keeps on tickin', never gonna let her go

🎸 Verse 4:

Well, he's got more balls than a big brass monkey
    C majorC
He's a whacked out weirdo and a lovebug junkie
FF               C majorC
Sly as a fox, crazy as a loon, payday comes and he's a-howlin' at the moon
G+G                           C majorC
He's my baby
I don't mean maybe, never gonna let him go

There won't be nothin' but big old hearts dancin' in our eyes
