Verse
[A]I never liked [E]the taste of whiske[F#m]y til I kissed it[Dsus2] off of her lips
[A]Never knew [E]just what was hitting me[F#m], getting me tip[Dsus2]sy
RIFF I
But there I sit,
A E RIFF II
Levi's on a dogwood branch
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Yeah, she was taking me under
A E RIFF II
I might have lost my innocence
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
But she was saving my soul that summer
Chorus
[A]I don't know much [E]about eternity
Or where some[F#m]body like me's go[Dsus2]nna wind up going
[A]All I know is [E]that I have already been
F#m Dsus2 RIFF I
Parked in a Chevy by the deep river rolling
[A]And that summer night,[E] shooting star paradise
[F#m]Might be all that[Dsus2] I'm getting
[A]Kissing and sipping[E] that 7 and 7
[Dsus2]Somewhere just south of heaven

F#m Dsus2 RIFF III
Nah, I didn't care at all

[F#m]With a whispere[Dsus2]d, sweet southern drawl
[A]Even now [E]when I close my eyes
[F#m]I see her silhouette[Dsus2] dance on the river
[A]The way we spent those [E]endless nights
[Dsus2]That's the way I could spend forever

[A]Somewhere just beyond the[E] Jericho line
[Dsus2]Little white church, roll back through the pines
