Also, in live versions, at the last Bm of every chorus, he does a pull off and a hammer on on the B string. He
doesn't do it in the album version, but I think it sounds cool anyways.

[Verse]
DJayton had a job for seven bucks an hour  
At the fillin' station by the water tower
Just cheAckin' oil and fixin' flats 
TGhe kind of kid most folks just look pastD  
DJill was the local preacher's kid gone wild 
Most the time her daddy couldn't stand his own child  
HAe'd quote the scripture with an angry shout 
And lGist her all the reasons she would never turn ouDt 
[Chorus]
She was drGunk one night on the fDourth of July  
PAarked in a pasture with an Bmout-of-town guy  
GHe got mad when shDe said no 
And he tEmore her Sunday drGess 
She was wGanderin' alone on a cDounty road 
When the lAights came over the hBmill 
ThGat was the moment when JAayton met JDill
[Verse]
HDe said hey, do you need a ride home 
She said go away, leave me alone 
But hAe noticed the bruise and the frightened tears  
Said there Gain't no way in Hell I'm leavin' you out hDere
It was rDainin' a little and fixin' to storm 
And his mustang jacket looked dry and warm
So she leAt him wrap it 'round her and she climbed inside  
SaGyin' OK I guess thanks for the rideD  
[Chorus]
At an Gall-night diner they wDaited out the storm 
AEnded up talking right Bmup 'til dawn 
BGy the time he dropped her off sDafe at home 
Neither Emone felt so alGone

[Intro]

[Verse]

Jayton had a job for seven bucks an hour

At the fillin' station by the water tower

Just checkin' oil and fixin' flats

G D

The kind of kid most folks just look past

Jill was the local preacher's kid gone wild

Most the time her daddy couldn't stand his own child

He'd quote the scripture with an angry shout

G D

And list her all the reasons she would never turn out

[Chorus]

G D

She was drunk one night on the fourth of July

A Bm

Parked in a pasture with an out-of-town guy

G D

He got mad when she said no

Em G

And he tore her Sunday dress

G D

She was wanderin' alone on a county road

A Bm

When the lights came over the hill

G A D

That was the moment when Jayton met Jill

[Verse]

He said hey, do you need a ride home

She said go away, leave me alone

But he noticed the bruise and the frightened tears

G D

Said there ain't no way in Hell I'm leavin' you out here

It was rainin' a little and fixin' to storm

And his mustang jacket looked dry and warm

So she let him wrap it 'round her and she climbed inside

G D

Sayin' OK I guess thanks for the ride

[Chorus]

G D

At an all-night diner they waited out the storm

A Bm

Ended up talking right up 'til dawn

G D

By the time he dropped her off safe at home

Em G

Neither one felt so alone

G D

Two lost souls found a connection

A Bm

that's blessin' both of them still

G A D

On that night when Jayton met Jill

G D A Bm G D Em G

[ ]

[Chorus]

G D

And what Jayton never told her about that night

A Bm

Is how he'd taken his dad's old 45

G D

He'd been drivin' 'round thinkin' how no one would miss him

Em G

If he just ended it all

G D

He couldn't see past his own pain

A Bm

'Til he saw a pretty girl walkin' in the rain

Thank God he made it over that hill

G A D

That was the moment when Jayton met Jill
