Sittin' on the front step

Little white suit case

Hearing that diesel
G
'Fore it hit the front gate

His headlights burnin' down a Friday night

Southern Belle statue

Standing in the screen door
G
Watching her whole world 
G
Head for an old Ford
C                                      G
With a man who can't look her in the eye



Am
And I run to him
    Em7       Cadd9
Big hug, jump in
      Am7
And I cry for her
Em7     Cadd9
Out the window



     Em7
Some mamas and daddies
    Cadd9
Are lovin' in a straight line
        G                        D
Take forever to heart and take a long sweet ride
         Em7
But some mama's and daddies
          Cadd9                 G       D
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
                C                       G
And some of us get stuck in a love triangle

Baby, how's your school been?

And how's your mom?

Patsy Cline echos back off the dashboard

Starin' at my boots and the dusty old floorboards
C                                        G
Baby, two weeks ain't really all that long

Then I'll run to her

Wrap my arms around her skirt

And I cry for him

Out the window
