D                 G      A                 D  Dsus2 D 
Friday night's pay night guys fresh out of work 
D                 G      A            D  Dsus2 D 
Talking about the weekend tryin' to scrub off the dirt 
D                            G      A         D  Dsus2 D 
Some heading home to their families some wearing trouble on their shirts 
D                         G      A           D  Dsus2 D 
Some driving down to Stovall just looking to get hurt 

D                 G      A       D  Dsus2 D 
I work for the county out on 95 
D                 G       A            D  Dsus2 D 
Just holdin' that red flag watchin' the traffic pass me by 
D                 G      A                   D  Dsus2 D 
All day I keep a picture of my baby in my head 
D                 G          A           D  Dsus2 D 
At night I dream I'm with her, laying in my bunkhouse bed 

G D A 
   
D                 G       A                   D  Dsus2 D 
Seen her at the canteen down at the Legion hall 
D                       G      A            D  Dsus2 D 
She came in with her brothers standin' back up against the wall 
D                 G        A             D  Dsus2 D 
Me and her we'd go walking down by the union tracks 
D                 G            A             D  Dsus2 D 
One day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back 

D                 G      A                   D  Dsus2 D 
Grey clouds stretch across the white moon 
D                 G               A          D  Dsus2 D 
Sitting in the backyard in my old car, we hum out of tune 
D                 G        A                D  Dsus2 D 
Well I saved up my money and I put it all away 
D                 G        A                D  Dsus2 D 
I went to see her daddy but we didn't have much to say 
D                 G             A            D  Dsus2 D 
Said "Now son can't you see that she's just a little girl 
D                 G              A         D  Dsus2 D 
Who don't know nothing 'bout the meanness in this world" 

D                 G      A                   D  Dsus2 D 
Took off down to Florida we got along all right 
D                       G      A             D  Dsus2 D 
One day her brothers came and got her and they took me in a black and white 
D                        G      A           D  Dsus2 D 
The prosecutor kept the promise that he made on that day 
D                       G       A            D  Dsus2 D 
She was sad and the judge was mad and he put me straight away 

Bridge 

G                     A         
Well they said she was too young 
G                       A                   
She was no younger than I've been  
G                       A                         D  Dsus2 D 
When she put her arms around me and the night closed in 

D                 G      A                   D  Dsus2 D 
Well sometimes I dream of getting out of here 
D                 G            A        D  Dsus2 D 
Heading down towards them old tracks 
D                         G         A        D  Dsus2 D 
I swore I'd come and get her, but I know I ain't never going back 

D                    G      A               D  Dsus2 D 
There's nights I can't sleep, no matter how hard I try 
D             G      A                    D  Dsus2 D 
So from my window I watch the moonlight fall on the far hillside 
D                         G      A           D  Dsus2 D 
I imagine I put on my jacket, and go down to this little roadside bar 
D                       G      A            D  Dsus2 D 
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor to a Mexican guitar 

D G A (till fade)
