(intro)
Ab     Gb, Gb  Db    Ab


(verse)
Ab                     Gb
He puts her boots and bandanna on
   Db                   Ab
He has a hankering for Rolling Stones
Ab                       Gb 
He likes her vegetables home grown

A lot like the boy waiting out in the truck

Ab                      Gb
He'll take a hill like Roosevelt
Db                        Ab
Holds up her pants with a Bible belt
Ab                       Gb
He cracks 'em up like a liberty bell
  Db
A whole lot of tender and a little bit tough

Db                  Ab
Sinatra junkie in a pair of jeans
Ab                      Gb
He pays his dues in the Land of the Free
       Db
Says, "Why walk baby, we were born to run"

With a boy like that in a cloud of dust
