| G | C D |
[Verse 1]
G C
Nothin' but a suitcase and her feet on the dashboard, radio blastin', we're laughin' back and forth
D G
Holdin' hands with no plans, and oh man do we feel a- live
G C
Got a job in the big town to pay for that run down motel, no tellin' how long we hold out
D G
In a little room, pretty soon she was cryin' to her momma at night
Em D C
I knew I had to do something quick
Am D
I thought the honky tonk down the road might do the trick
[Chorus]
G C
And we danced all night to Conway and Haggard, 3 shots, a 2-step, and the 1 thing that mattered
D G
Was holdin' each other close, and gettin' lost in the moment
G C
By closin' time we were open for business, the only thing on our minds was huggin' and kissin'
D C D
And she went from cryin' all day to lovin' me all night long
Am D
Thank God for new beginnings and old honky tonks
[Instrumental]
| G | C D |
[Verse 2]
G C
Under the pressure of an overdue mortgage wanna go on vacation, but we can't afford it
D G
Pullin' double shifts on weekends, raisin' kids and barely gettin' by
Em D C
She said baby I think we need a break
Am D
Dropped the kids off at her momma's, and we were drinkin' by eight
[Chorus]
G C
And we danced all night to Conway and Haggard, 3 shots, a 2-step, and the 1 thing that mattered
D G
Was holdin' each other close, and gettin' lost in the moment
G C
By closin' time we were open for business, the only thing on our minds was huggin' and kissin'
D C D
I went from workin' all day to lovin' her all night long
Am D
Thank God for new beginnings and old honky tonks
[Instrumental]
