D G A
Friday night's pay night
D Dsus2 D
Guy's fresh out of work
D G A
Talking about the weekend
D Dsus2 D
Tryin' to scrub off the dirt
D G A
Some heading home to their families
D Dsus2 D
Some wearing trouble on their shirts
D G A
Some driving down to Stovall
D Dsus2 D
Just looking to get hurt
D G A D Dsus2 D
I work for the county out on 95
D G A
Just holdin' that red flag
D Dsus2 D
Watchin' the traffic pass me by
D G A
All day I keep a picture
D Dsus2 D
Of my baby in my head
D G A
At night I dream I'm with her
D Dsus2 D
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
She came in with her brothers
D Dsus2 D
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
Sitting in the backyard in my old car
D Dsus2 D
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
One day her brothers came and got her
D Dsus2 D
And they took me in a black and white
D G
The prosecutor kept the promise
A D Dsus2 D
That he made on that day
D G A
She was sad and the judge was mad
D Dsus2 D
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
When she put her arms around me
D Dsus2 D
And the night closed in
D G A D Dsus2 D
Well sometimes I dream of getting out of here
D G A
Heading down towards them old tracks
D G A
I swore I'd come and get her, but I know
D Dsus2 D
I ain't never going back
D G A
There's nights I can't sleep
D Dsus2 D
No matter how hard I try
D G A D Dsus2 D
So from my window I watch the moonlight
D Dsus2 D
Fall on the far hillside
D G
I imagine I put on my jacket
A D Dsus2 D
and go down to this little roadside bar
D G A
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor
D Dsus2 D
To a Mexican guitar
D G A (till fade)
