[Intro]
E  A  E  A
[Verse 1]
EShe'll be in Denver by the break of dawn
  AHer calloused heart, her regal charm
  EWill grace the city in his open arms
  AAnd his bed come tonight.
  EBut me I'm stranded down on Silver Street
  AJust throwing bottles at the Delta Queen.
  EShe passes slow like your memory, makes the Abend
And floats out of Amsight.
[Interlude]
E  C#m  A
E  C#m  A
[Verse 2]
EAustin, Texas: mattress on the floor.
  AWe'd buy some grass from the kid next door.
  EWe'd bitch of love as if it was a chore
But we Amade it to ease both our minds.
  EFirst time I lost you was a mean curveball
  AThrown in Las vegas down a hotel hall.
  EWhy we stuck it out, man, I can't recall,
Seems my Ahonesty's always on Amtrial.
[Chorus]
   E       C#m   AAnd I never once called you EbabC#myA  
AI never once called you EanyC#mthing.A  
AI never once called you EbabC#myA  
AI always thought you were Emore to me.A  E  A  
[Verse 3]
  EAnd I saw him coming with his suit and tie.
  AHis hair slicked back looked a lot like mine.
  EBut that was years ago and over time
Lost my Ascissors, my comb, and my style.
  EAnd how he watched us at the table there
  AAs we caught up on our when-and-wheres.
  EOur escapades, our life-ain't-fairs,
And how you'lAl be leaving with him tonAmight.
[Chorus]
   E       C#m   AAnd I bet he calls you EbabC#myA  
AI never once called you EanyC#mthing.A  
AOh I bet he calls you EbabC#myA  
AI always thought you were Emore to me.A  E  A  
[Verse 4]
ESo if I'm breathing on some solid ground
  AAnd what went up the river comes back down
  EMaybe we'll meet again next time around
And Atalk of those vagabond times.
  EKeep all your stubbornness and pretty smile,
  AKeep all your dreams about that unborn child,
  EKeep both your feet out of the wedding aisle,
And I'll Akeep you in the back of Ammy mind.E

Slick Delta Queen

by Kyle Craft

Lyrics & chords · Original key

[Intro]

E A E A

[Verse 1]

She'll be in Denver by the break of dawn

Her calloused heart, her regal charm

Will grace the city in his open arms

And his bed come tonight.

But me I'm stranded down on Silver Street

Just throwing bottles at the Delta Queen.

E A

She passes slow like your memory, makes the bend

And floats out of sight.

[Interlude]

E C#m A

[Verse 2]

Austin, Texas: mattress on the floor.

We'd buy some grass from the kid next door.

We'd bitch of love as if it was a chore

But we made it to ease both our minds.

First time I lost you was a mean curveball

Thrown in Las vegas down a hotel hall.

Why we stuck it out, man, I can't recall,

A Am

Seems my honesty's always on trial.

[Chorus]

E C#m A E C#m A

And I never once called you baby

A E C#m A

I never once called you anything.

A E C#m A

I never once called you baby

A E A E A

I always thought you were more to me.

[Verse 3]

And I saw him coming with his suit and tie.

His hair slicked back looked a lot like mine.

But that was years ago and over time

Lost my scissors, my comb, and my style.

And how he watched us at the table there

As we caught up on our when-and-wheres.

Our escapades, our life-ain't-fairs,

A Am

And how you'll be leaving with him tonight.

[Chorus]

E C#m A E C#m A

And I bet he calls you baby

A E C#m A

I never once called you anything.

A E C#m A

Oh I bet he calls you baby

A E A E A

I always thought you were more to me.

[Verse 4]

So if I'm breathing on some solid ground

And what went up the river comes back down

Maybe we'll meet again next time around

And talk of those vagabond times.

Keep all your stubbornness and pretty smile,

Keep all your dreams about that unborn child,

Keep both your feet out of the wedding aisle,

A Am E

And I'll keep you in the back of my mind.
