E Bsus4 B E
■ ■ ■ You're shaking like a live oak leaf missing your first deer
C#m7
Seven years old fighting back the tears
A
Next thing you know it's your senior year
B
Saying you can't wait till you're out of here
E
Wintergreen Skoal in a console cup
C#m7
Cut a bunch of yards so you can jack it up
A
Spinning them wheels in your Chevrolet
B
Digging down deep in the Georgia clay
[Chorus]
E C#m
My girl in a twelvefoot boat blue eyes and a red sunset
A B B7
Heading down some way backroad back tires still soaking wet
E C#m7 A
Wind blowing that cloud of dust plow disc all worn and rusty
B
Running wideopen on empty yeah that was life
E C#m7
Back when life was a new country song it was duck dogs and football
A
We didn't have much but we had it all
B E
Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall
[Verse]
C#m7 E Bsus4 B
■ ■ ■ ■
E
Now I'm watching my boys backlash a line
C#m C#m7
The muscadine ■ don't fall far from the vine
A
Spinner bait hung in a cypress tree
B
Man I swear they're just like me
[Chorus]
E
When it was
C#m C#m7
My girl in a twelvefoot boat blue eyes and a red sunset
A B
Heading down some way backroad back tires still soaking wet
E C#m7 A
Wind blowing that cloud of dust plow disc all worn and rusty

Running wideopen on empty yeah that was life
E C#m7
Back when life was a new country song it was duck dogs and football
A
We didn't have much but we had it all

Trying to steal a kiss and put a fish on the wall ■
[Bridge]
A B E C#m7
■ ■ Man it's something to see them holding up their first tenpounder
A B
And if they're lucky as me they'll catch and thank the Lord you found her
E C#m7
My girl in a twelvefoot boat blue eyes and a red sunset
A B Bsus4 B
Heading down some way backroad back tires still soaking wet
[Chorus]

Wind blowing that cloud of dust plow disc all worn and rusty

Running wideopen on empty yeah that was life
