Friday night's pay night guys fresh out of work

 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Talking about the weekend tryin' to scrub off the dirt

 D MajorD               G+G    A augmentedA      D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Some heading home to their families some wearing trouble on their shirts

 D MajorD              G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Some driving down to Stovall just looking to get hurt

 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA     D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
I work for the county out on 95

 D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Just holdin' that red flag watchin' the traffic pass me by

 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
All day I keep a picture of my baby in my head

 D MajorD          G+G      A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
At night I dream I'm with her, laying in my bunkhouse bed


G+G D MajorD A augmentedA

 D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Seen her at the canteen down at the Legion hall

 D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
She came in with her brothers standin' back up against the wall

 D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA        D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Me and her we'd go walking down by the union tracks

 D MajorD          G+G       A augmentedA        D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back

 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Grey clouds stretch across the white moon

 D MajorD          G+G         A augmentedA      D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Sitting in the backyard in my old car, we hum out of tune

 D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA         D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Well I saved up my money and I put it all away

 D MajorD          G+G     A augmentedA         D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say

 D MajorD          G+G        A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Said "Now son can't you see that she's just a little girl

 D MajorD          G+G        A augmentedA      D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Who don't know nothing 'bout the meanness in this world"


 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Took off down to Florida we got along all right

 D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA        D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black and white

 D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day

 D MajorD             G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
She was sad and the judge was mad and he put me straight away


Bridge

 G+G            A augmentedA
Well they said she was too young

 G+G             A augmentedA
She was no younger than I've been

 G+G             A augmentedA              D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
When she put her arms around me and the night closed in


 D MajorD          G+G    A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Well sometimes I dream of getting out of here

 D MajorD          G+G       A augmentedA     D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Heading down towards them old tracks

 D MajorD              G+G      A augmentedA     D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
I swore I'd come and get her, but I know I ain't never going back


 D MajorD           G+G    A augmentedA         D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
There's nights I can't sleep, no matter how hard I try

 D MajorD        G+G    A augmentedA           D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
So from my window I watch the moonlight fall on the far hillside

 D MajorD              G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
I imagine I put on my jacket, and go down to this little roadside bar

 D MajorD             G+G    A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus2Dsus2    D MajorD
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor to a Mexican guitar


D MajorD G+G A augmentedA (till fade)
