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