	  Intro 

A  D  F#m  E 

        A 
She was leaning long legged 
         D 
'neath a bottle cap sign 
     F#m                  E 
Of a country store with a coke and a smile 
    A 
the coolest place to linger 
      D      
on an Arkansas day 
         F#m             E 
when she saw him passing by 
              A 
He said "I'll take you back to Texas" 
         D 
Said "my name is Ray" 
          F#m                       E 
where the stars are bigger than the Hit Parade 
        A 
And she stopped dreamin' her dream 
        D 
and she started dreamin' his 
F#m                      E 
Traded in her childhood 
D                 E           A 
She wore flowered dresses for him 
D                E                     A 
Rolled her hair, scrubbed her freckled skin 
       D                           E 
On the chance that they were goin' out tonight 
A       E/G#        D 
Catch a show, maybe grab a bite 
        D           E                     A 
and she looked real nice, She looked real nice 
Verse 

Sometimes I think about my daddy 
and his old spice grin, 
Cleaned pressed shirts, and a farmers tan 
She never asked him questions 
So he never told her lies 
but I heard my mama cry some 
And I was sitting in the hallway on the night he left 
huggin my knees, holding my breath 
I never knew why but he was damn sure gone 
thought it was maybe my fault 

Chorus 

'Cause She wore flowered dresses for him 
Rolled her hair, scrubbed her freckled skin 
On the chance that they were goin' out tonight 
Catch a show, maybe grab a bite 
And she looked real nice, she looked real nice 

Repeat Intro For the violin solo 


Verse 

Now the evening is just starting to chill a bit 
with the fireflies in flight over the trees and it 
Brings to mind the glider where she used to sit 
And count the headlights on the highway 
So I think of where you're goin' 
Where you are tonight 
What you might have seen, 
since I last saw those eyes. 
I know that I can't win, If I do not play 
But this whole thing scares me 

Chorus 

She wore flowered dresses for him 
Rolled her hair, scrubbed her freckled skin 
On the chance that they were goin' out tonight 
Catch a show, maybe grab a bite 
and she looked real nice, She looked real nice  
        D               E                 A 
and she looked real nice, She looked real nice
