 She asked me where I was from 
              G               C 
I said "Somewhere you never been to" 
         Am                F 
Little town outside of Knoxville 
        G 
Hidden by some dogwood trees 
              C                F 
She tried talkin' with my accent 
          G               C 
We held hands and waded into 
G         Am 
That blue water 
              F                  G             C 
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach

           C                               F      C 
Yeah but, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado 
         F             C                G 
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots 
            C                                    F                   C 
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed m tells me she'd lov Eastern Tennessee 
           F                   C                G         C 
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

I said "Let's go shoot tequila" 
        G                   C 
So we walked back to that beach bar 
            Am                  F 
She said "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?" 
    G 
So we drank bottom shelf 
            C                  F 
She said "Damn, that sky looks perfect" 
        G                        C      G       Am 
I said "Girl, you've never seen stars like the ones back home" 
     F                       G               C 
And she said "Maybe I should, see 'em for myself"

        G              C 
And she told me I was crazy 
G         Am                    F               G

Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado 
      F            C                   G
