[E]
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl, same [Bm] grade as me.
[E] Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus, and she walked [Bm] right over me.
[A] Face down and the gum on the floor, I was hoping that she'd change her mind.
[E] [Bm] But I swear as she [E] walked down the stairs, she didn't even wave goodbye.
[B] She [Bm] didn't even wave goodbye.
[E] Ray Dixon didn't take no lip, he kicked you right off the bus.
Stopped by your house on the way out of the hauler, and tell your mama where you was.
[A] He didn't need no driver's aid to keep a bunch of kids in line.
[E] All he needed was a glare in the mirror, and a paddle that he carved from pine.
[B] Western Bunkhead's [E] alive, oh, blistering.
[A]
[Em] [E]
[Em] [E] [B] [E]
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl, same grade as me.
I held on to hope for eight long years, and by the time that I turned sixteen,
[A] I was an awkward as a [D] real smooth [A] talker with my very own pickup truck.
[E] I'd take her home, and if her parents weren't around, they'd bring me in and give me some.
[B] Bring me in and give [E] me some.
[A]
[E]
[B] [E] [D] [E] Seth's sane nowadays, old Ray couldn't keep her out very long.
And I'm glad the little girl's dad never found out what was going on.
[A] I know he'd have killed me in a minute, and he wouldn't have left no trace.
[E] Hogs will eat about anything, give or whoo, don't let nothing go to waste.
[B] Don't let nothing go [E] to waste.
This is where [Bm] we dropped off the prettiest little girl, [E] same grade as me.
