And gAot some steaks to go
AWent by and picked up my gal, TDeddi Jo
GWe had ourselves a picnic
BesAide a dirt road

ALike a ball through the hoop
ASpinnin' and tumblin' insDide this hoola hoop

[Verse 2]
AWe laid out a blanket
DAnd started a fire
GHad the radio playin'
AFrom inside the car
AI took off my shirt and DI kicked off my shoes
GShe read the paper
AAnd told me the news
AShe said, there's a lot of people out there
DWho are at the end of their rope
GSometimes baby
AYou've got to lay low

[Verse 3]
(percussion only)
We were gettin' ready
To shake out of that place
When the Illinois state trooper
Got in my face
He said, You're on private property
But once he cooled down he was ok
Sometimes you're golden, man
That's all I got to say
[Gtr Break]

ALike a ball through the hoop
