The Benjy Davis Project - Check your pocket

^AI saw her back in ^Dgrade school, She was the ^Gprettiest girl I'd ^Dever seen, And ^Atalkin' made me sound like a ^Ddamn fool, And I ^Ghadn't quite kick that ^Dst-st-stutter ^AI gave up on the ^Dwhole thing, ^GThinkin' of the way, ^Dprayin' for the day, ^AHopin' that the stars would a-^Dlign, And ^Gsomeday she be ^Dmine.

Well, ^Ahigh school finall^Dy rolled around, ^GSo did my ^Dchance, Just ^Akept my business under ^Done half minute, When I ^Gasked her to go to the ^Ddance. ^AShe said yes and when the ^Dnight was over, ^GI had her in my ^Dhand, That ^Apicture we took ^Dwith my arms wrapped around her, By the ^Ggym concession ^Dstand.

^AmOh, before that night was over, ^DI wrote a couple words, ^CFirst chance I got, I snuck that ^Dpicture in her ^Cpu-^Drse, And it said ^Ahold me, ^Dfold me, ^CSlip me in the pocket of your ^Gfavorite old blue jeans, ^ABall me up and ^Dspin me clean, ^CLeave me outside in the ^Gsunshine honey, ^ARoll me, ^Dlose me ^Gunderneath a pile of your new things, ^AForget you ever ^Dknew me then, ^GCheck your pockets some day and ^Gfind me again. ^AWo-oh... wo-oh.

N.C.

Well..., ^AShe went off to ^Dcollege, And I'm ^Goff to do my ^Dthing, I was h^Aangin' out late one n^Dight drinkin' pitchers, With some ^Gfriends at the Kitchen ^DSink, eh..., ^AI'd had to rub my ^Deyes, and ^Glook again to just be ^Dsure, That ^Agirl I'd knew then ^Dcame back woman and she'd ^Gwalk into dat ^Ddoor.

^AmBefore we left she pulled a ^Dnapkin from her shirt, ^CIt had her number on it, ^DUnderneath the ^Cwo-^Drds... And it said ^Ahold me, ^Dfold me, ^CSlip me in the pocket of your ^Gfavorite old blue jeans, ^ABall me up and ^Dspin me clean, ^CLeave me outside in the ^Gsunshine honey, ^ARoll me, ^Dlose me ^Gunderneath a pile of your new things, ^AForget you ever ^Dknew me then, ^CCheck your pockets some day and ^Gfind me again.

And it said ^Ahold me, ^Dfold me, ^CSlip me in the pocket of your ^Gfavorite old blue jeans, ^ABall me up and ^Dspin me clean, ^CLeave me outside in the ^Gsunshine honey, ^ARoll me, ^Dlose me ^Gunderneath a pile of your new things, ^AForget you ever ^Dknew me then, ^CCheck your pockets... and ^Gfind me again.

^AHold me, ^Dfold me, ^CSlip me in the pocket of your ^Gfavorite old blue jeans, ^ABall me up and ^Dspin me clean, ^CLeave me outside in the ^Gsunshine honey, ^ARoll me, ^Dlose me ^Gunderneath a pile of your new things, ^AForget you ever ^Dknew me then, ^CCheck your pockets some day
