D
I was sitting in a truck stop, overheard a conversation
G                       A                 D
He was spilling out his heart and soul to her
D
He had that diamond in his hand, he was a lovesick, desperate man
G                   A                       D
Trying with all his might when he found the words

And he said

               D                           G
There'll be no peaches down in Georgia, no oil in Oklahoma
   D                  A
No sun in Arizona, no stars in California
   D                        G
No cowboys out in Texas, no wheat fields in Kansas
   F        G        D
No Colorado skies of blue
     A             D
When I stop loving you
     A             D
When I stop loving you

D
For a moment he was heart broke, as she smiled and hesitated
G                    A                        D
She was looking like she couldn't make up her mind
D
Then he went down on one knee in front of God, the crowd and me
G                  A                D
Swallowed hard and gave it one more try

               D                        G
There'll be no cars in Detroit City, no cotton in Mississippi
   D                        A
No mountains in Montana, no red clay in Alabama
   D                      G
No bluegrass in Kentucky, Vegas won't be lucky
    F                G           D
And Memphis won't be home of the blues
     A             D
When I stop loving you

G                 A                     D
Everybody in that truck stop held their breath
G                    A              D
As he waited to hear what she would say
C                                           G
They all stood up and cheered when she said yes
C                                   A
And he promised her until his dying day

               D                           G
There'll be no peaches down in Georgia, no oil in Oklahoma
   D                  A
No sun in Arizona, no stars in California
   D                        G
No cowboys out in Texas, no wheat fields in Kansas
   F        G        D
No Colorado skies of blue
     A             D
When I stop loving you

               D                        G
There'll be no cars in Detroit City, no cotton in Mississippi
   D                        A
No mountains in Montana, no red clay in Alabama
   D                      G
No bluegrass in Kentucky, Vegas won't be lucky
    F                G           D
And Memphis won't be home of the blues

     A             D
When I stop loving you (no peaches down in Georgia)
     A             D
When I stop loving you (no oil in Oklahoma)
           A             D
Girl, when I stop loving you
