[Intro]
C F C F C G C C
[Verse 1]
C F C
Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on city streets and back porches
G C
But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
C
And I've seen children playin' on the coastlines
F C
Under the white lines, atop the blue tides
F C G C
But I ain't ever been baptized in water as cool as you
C
And the law don't ever come back here and I
F C
Reckon they don't try
F C
I just put some beer on ice
G C
Let's just dance for a moment or two
[Chorus]
Am G C F
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
Am G C F
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
Am G C F
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
Am G C F
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
Am G C F
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
[Instrumental]
C F C F C G C C
[Verse 2]
C
We'd always ride those back roads back when
F C
You got sick
F C
Roll the windows down
G C
Just for the hell of it
C
You always acted baptized
F C
Every time we hit the coast
F C
Bandana tan line on your forehead
G C
So the tourists didn't know
[Chorus]
Am G C F
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
Am G C F
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
Am G C F
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
Am G C F
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
Am G C F
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
Am G C F
My blood-rush to the heart, you were my last hope
[Instrumental]
C F C F C G C C
[Outro]
C
And the law don't ever come back here and I
F C
Reckon they don't try
F C
I just put some beer on ice
G C
And tonight I'm dancin' for two
Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on city streets and back porches
But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
And I've seen children playin' on the coastlines
Under the white lines, atop the blue tides
But I ain't ever been baptized in water as cool as you
And the law don't ever come back here and I
Reckon they don't try
I just put some beer on ice
Let's just dance for a moment or two
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
We'd always ride those back roads back when
You got sick
Roll the windows down
Just for the hell of it
You always acted baptized
Every time we hit the coast
Bandana tan line on your forehead
So the tourists didn't know
You're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
And the stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's closed
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
My blood-rush to the heart, you were my last hope
And the law don't ever come back here and I
Reckon they don't try
I just put some beer on ice
And tonight I'm dancin' for two
