Recorded by Justin Ford Band
Capo on 3
[Intro] 
 D   G   Ax 4
DSeat in the back of Gflatbed AChevrolet  D  G  A  
Oh, Dscratchin' my head, just Gthinkin' about Awhat to say  D  G  A  
She's been Deyein' me with a Ghalfway Agrin  D  G  A  
In this DBaptist town, Gjust might Abe a Dsin G  A  
Well, your DDaddy'd die, if he Gknew we'd out Ahere alone  D  G  A  
And it's a Ddamn good thing we Gparked a few Amiles away from Dhome G  A  
Oh, but Dwhat people do and Gsay is two Adifferent Dthings G  A  
And that's Dwhy I'm worried G'bout Apeople Dsay G  A  
[Chorus]
We Bmway out Ain the Dplains, Bmwhere the Acotton's Dgrown
BmSee as Afar as the GCaprock Dreaches and Bmno- Abody Dknows
Yeah, yeah, said Bmno- Abody Dknows
[Inst]  
 D   G   Ax 4
So I Dbrought up the weather and the Ghigh school Afootball Dgame G  A  
DHow she use to act like Gshe didn't Aknow my Dname G  A  
She said, " DLife takes a turn about GjuAnior hiDgh" G  A  
Then she Dlets out a giggle as Gshe Abats her Deyes G  A  
Then she Dgrabed my hand and Gwhispered Ain my Dear G  A  
Some Dsweet little words a Gcountry boy Ashould not Dhear G  A  
She said, " DHold me close, baby, Glike Acowboy should"  D  G  A  
And if you Dask real nice, Gdon't you Aknow I Dwould G  A  
[RepeatChorus]
[Inst]  
 D   G   Ax 8
Well, I Dthink about the girl every Gtime I Aget back Dhome G  A  
And the Dsweet little lips were the Gfirst I Aever Dknown G  A  
And her DDaddy use to clean his Gguns when AI come a- Dround G  A  
I bet he'd Ds**t himself if he Gknew I used to Asneak in his Dhouse G  A  
My Dparents still live on the Ghighway leading Aout of Dtown G  A  
My DGrandpa's still making his Gmark, six feet Aon the Dground G  A  
The Donly thing that's Gchanged is her Amaiden Dname G  A  
And I can Dstill kick the boy's Gass that Atook it a- Dway G  A  
We Bmway out Ain the Dplains, Bmwhere the Acotton's Dgrown
BmSee as Afar as the GCaprock Dreaches and Bmno- Abody Dknows
Yeah, we Bmway out Ain the Dplains, Bmwhere the Acotton's Dgrown
BmSee as Afar as the GCaprock Dreaches and Bmno- Abody Dknows
Yeah, yeah said Bmno- Abody Dknows, --- one two three, yeah

In this Baptist town, just might be a sin

So I brought up the weather and the high school football game

D G A D G A

How she use to act like she didn't know my name

D G A D G A

She said, " Life takes a turn about junior high"

D G A D G A

Then she lets out a giggle as she bats her eyes

D G A D G A

Then she grabed my hand and whispered in my ear

D G A D G A

Some sweet little words a country boy should not hear

D G A D G A

She said, " Hold me close, baby, like cowboy should"

And if you ask real nice, don't you know I would

My Grandpa's still making his mark, six feet on the ground
