[Intro]
D G E A
[Verse]
D G
I'm from a little country town where the sky is blue
A D
Friday nights around here ain't a whole lot to do
G
So I went and called up sweet Becky Lou
A A/E
Said, " How'd you like to go for a drive?"
D G
I took her in my truck to the railroad tracks
A D
Lit a cozy fire for a little romance
G
I sang her a song and she reached for my hand
A A/E
When daddy busted outta the woods, he said
[Chorus]
D G
Stop it right there, hands in the air
A D
We think there's somethin' you kids ought to know
G
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin' the sticks
A A/E
Tryin' to find you and dang that was close
D G
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
A D
But she's the daughter of an uncle re- lated to you
G
You might not wanna go swimmin' in the same gene pool
A D G A D
Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin
D G
I turned a- round to look at Becky and she looked at me
A D
We broke the law of attraction almost instantly
G
Her pretty brown hair went to ugly and green
A A/E
And she gave me my coat back
D G
So we packed it in but the night was young
A D
She said, "If you don't mind, I'd still like to have fun
G
There's a show called 'Deliverance' on re-run
A A/E
Down at the cinema"
[Chorus]
D G
Stop it right there, hands in the air
A D
We think there's somethin' you kids ought to know
G
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin' the sticks
A A/E
Tryin' to find you and dang that was close
D G
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
A D
But she's the daughter of an uncle re- lated to you
G
You might not wanna go swimmin' in the same gene pool
A G
Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin
[Instrumental]
D G D G D A
[Chorus]
D G
Stop it right there, hands in the air
A D
We think there's somethin' you kids ought to know
G
Ya scared your momma half to death, we've been searchin' the sticks
A A/E
Tryin' to find you and dang that was close
D G
Her daddy's older nephew might be twice removed
A D
But she's the daughter of an uncle re- lated to you
G
We need a little seperation in the our gene pool
A G D G A D
Don't be touchin', tha's your cousin
[Outro]

Well, I ran into Becky just the other day

At the new online inter- net café
