[Intro]

[Verse 1]
EThis is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
ESame grade as me
ETried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus
EAnd she walked right over me
AFace-down in the gum on the floor
AI was hopin' that she'd change her mind
EBut I swear as she walked down the stairs
EShe didn't even wave goodbye
B7Didn't even wave goodEbye
[Verse 2]
ERay Dixon didn't take no lip
EHe'd kick you right off the bus
EStop by your house on the way out of the holler
EAnd tell your momma where you was
AHe didn't need no driver's aid
ATo keep a bunch of kids in line
EAll he needed was a glare in the mirror
EAnd a paddle that he carved from pine
B7Blisterin' punk kids alEive (Oh, blister 'em)
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
EThis is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
ESame grade as me
EI held onto hope for eight long years
EAnd by the time that I turned sixteen
AI wasn't awkward, I's a real smooth talker
AWith my very own pickup truck
EI'd take her home and if her parents weren't around
EShe'd bring me in and give me some
B7Bring me in and give me Esome
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
ESafe to say nowadays ol' Ray
ECan't keep a route very long
EAnd I'm glad the little girl's dad
ENever found out what was goin' on
AI know he'd kill me in a minute
AAnd he wouldn't have left no trace
EHogs'll eat 'bout anything you give 'em
EAnd they don't let nothin' go to waste
B7Don't let nothin' go to Ewaste
[Outro]
EThis is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
ESame grade as me
