C ||
'neath a bottle cap sign -i
Of a Em7country store with a Dcoke and a smile
the Gcoolest place to linger
on an CArkansas day
when she Em7saw him passing Dby
He said "GI'll take you back to Texas"
C ||
Said "my name is Ray"
where the Em7stars are bigger than the DHit Parade
And she Gstopped dreamin' her dream
and she Cstarted dreamin' his
Em7Traded in her childhood D

CRolled her hair, Dscrubbed her freckled Gskin
On the cChance that they were goin' out toniDght
GCatch a shG/F#ow, maybe gCrab a bite
and she Clooked real nice, ShDe looked real nice G
Verse
Sometimes I think about my daddy
and his old spice grin,
Cleaned pressed shirts, and a farmers tan
She never asked him questions
So he never told her lies
but I heard my mama cry some
And I was sitting in the hallway on the night he left
huggin my knees, holding my breath
I never knew why but he was damn sure gone
thought it was maybe my fault
Chorus
Verse
Now the evening is just starting to chill a bit
with the fireflies in flight over the trees and it
Brings to mind the glider where she used to sit
And count the headlights on the highway
So I think of where you're goin'
Where you are tonight
What you might have seen,
since I last saw those eyes.
I know that I can't win, If I do not play
But this whole thing scares me
Chorus
and Cshe looked real Dnice, She looked real Gnice
