Intro:  E            A  (x2) 

verse 1 
E 
How do you turn a scholarship down, 
A 
Tear up a ticket, already punched, 
E 
And watch a dream die? 
E 
Who's gonna tell me how 
A 
To face Daddy 
E 
And watch Momma cry? 
B 
Have I thrown my future away? 
A 
Played my last football game? 
B 
It all seems so strange 
A 
That in just one night 
            B 
Your whole life can change.

          A 
Wish this old John Deere had wings 
         E                 B 
And this cotton row was an airstrip 
A               B (quick hit) 
Way outta here. 
A 
Wish this high noon Georgia sun 
      E                B 
Could melt what's been done 
         A 
Make it disappear. 
           C#m    B       A 
If I could leave, I'd be gone, 
                A        G#m       F#m       B 
But that's just one more thing done wrong 

By this small town favorite son. 

verse 2 
E 
By fall they're all gonna know 
A 
Our little secret 
E 
My baby holds inside. 
E 
By then she'll be startin' to show, 
A 
And I'll be the husband 
E 
To a shotgun bride. 
B 
I already miss that sound 
A 
The marching bands and the cheering crowds. 
B 
Stuck here in this red dirt ground 
A                            B 
Knowin' I,   I let everybody down.

Outro

This high noon Georgia sun

Can't melt what's been done.
