We held hands and waded into
BbCm
That blue water
AbBbEb
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach
Chorus:
EbAbEb
Yeah but, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
AbEbBb
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots
EbAbEb
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed mе tells me she'd lovе Eastern Tennessee
AbEbBbEb
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
Verse 2:

She said "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?"
Bb
So we drank bottom shelf
