 #CHORUS G D
 #Take me down to the river where I can hold your body close to mine
                C                 D                   C D 
 We can listen to the rhythm of that old water rollin  
                    C                       D G 
 You can stay with me until the mornin light 
 
 I found you in a Louisiana roadside park
 Beat up broke down no place left to turn
 I took you back to Texas under a harvest moon
 We found a little place to call our own
 We shared all the hopes and dreams of our younger years
 Married at the tender age of twenty one
 Rollin down the highways dirt roads and the by ways
 You like to drive so I could go shotgun
 
 CHORUS
 
 Somewhere through the years somebody turned your head
 Has taken my sweet love so far from me
 Yeah he swept you of to boulder where the air gets a little bit colder
 Than this southern man would ever like to see
 And I think of callin you on my lonely nights
 When being alone well it gets the best of me
 Yeah but this here whiskey bottle takes me to the place
 Where you and I will always be
 
                        A                          
 When you get back home everybody said I was a fool
                                     E 
 Took you back without a word to say 
             D                              E             D E 
 But I couldnt go on livin thinkin about all I was missin  
            D                                          E A 
 And I donât give a damn about what those people think  
 CHORUS A A E D A E D
