Verse 1:
                C                          F                     C
Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on city streets and back porches
     G                                           C
But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
                C
And I've seen children playin' on the coastlines
            F                     C
Under the white lines, atop the blue tides
           F           C           G                C
But I ain't ever been baptized in water as cool as you
         C
And the law don't ever come back here and I
F                 C
 Reckon they don't try
      F                C
I just put some beer on ice
            G                      C
Let's just dance for a moment or two

Chorus:
                   Am          G       C         F
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
      Am            G         C            F
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
            Am             G          C        F
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
          Am           G            C          F
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
        Am           G            C     F
I lost faith in the world a long time ago


Instrumental:
 C  | F   C  | F    C  | G   C  | C  :


Verse 2:
 C
We'd always ride those back roads back when
F         C
 You got sick
F                C
 Roll the windows down
      G              C
Just for the hell of it
    C
You always acted baptized
     F                 C
Every time we hit the coast
    F            C
Bandana tan line on your forehead
        G                C
So the tourists didn't know


Chorus:
                   Am          G       C         F
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
      Am            G         C            F
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
            Am             G          C        F
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
          Am           G            C          F
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
        Am           G            C     F
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
          Am          G               C     F
My blood-rush to the heart, you were my last hope


Instrumental:

Outro:
         C
And the law don't ever come back here and I
F                 C
 Reckon they don't try
      F                C
I just put some beer on ice
       G                   C
And tonight I'm dancin' for two
