Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: (D)  (D)
It was a Dhot June morning on the intersate
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
She was Gbroke down, north bound, Georgia line
I Dpulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
With Ajust one look, it was heart and soul
GWe were like a river runnin' Aout of control
When the DTennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
         Up come the water over Nickajack land
Like a Gtop on a bottle when it's ready to blow
DLove is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
When you Abuckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
Well a DTennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
We spent a Dweek together in the next two nights
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
Be Gfore we both knew it we were makin' some plans
Seein' Drings on our fingers, on both of our hands
Daddy Asaid I was crazy, mommas both cried
But you Ggotta tell the world when you Agot it inside
Now we got a cabin with a window veiw
Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
We got a Glay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight
I guess Dlovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life
I Aknow how it is now's the way it should
Cause I Glook outside, and Awhat do I see?

Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: (D) (D)

It was a hot June morning on the intersate

She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late

She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line

I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride

With just one look, it was heart and soul

G A

We were like a river runnin' out of control

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam

Up come the water over Nickajack land

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake

We spent a week together in the next two nights

It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right

Be fore we both knew it we were makin' some plans

Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands

Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried

G A

But you gotta tell the world when you got it inside

Now we got a cabin with a window veiw

Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too

We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight

I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life

I know how it is now's the way it should

G A

Cause I look outside, and what do I see?
