Write It All Down

G I had a girl, called her Memphis Magnolia G7 She worked at the bar swingin' 'round on a pole C I weren't no gent, she weren't no lady G I's her good old mule, but my heart caught the Katy D Coulda done worse and she coulda done better C Write it all down in one last love letter G Now I rode a train from Arizee to Temple G7 Had me a rider, brown-haired and simple C She'd hit my teeth when she hit the bottle G Run it so fast that she done broke the throttle D Now I won't go back, no, not never C Write it all down in one last love letter G If there was a highway, she claimed she rode it G7 Came from the north, least that's how she told it C She changed her name the day she turned twenty G Told her I'd write and she thought that was funny D I weren't no catch, just another lover C Write it all down in one last love letter G We drank by the tracks in the dog days of summer G7 She took off her shirt, told me to come over C Love me so mean, set my whole body achin' G She wanted my soul, but my heart weren't for takin' D I was too young to understand forever C Write it all down in one last love letter {Instrumental Break} G G7 C G D C G Pretty as a peach, she was sweet as the mornin' G7 Kept me in bed when the clouds set to pourin' C I wanted the fruit, but I just couldn't shake it G She offered me shade, but I just wouldn't take it D Now I stand in the rain complainin' 'bout the weather G Write it all down in one last love letter to you
