[Intro]
F C Dm
Bb F C F
[Verse 1]
C Dm
Got a girl from the south side, got braids in her hair
Bb F C F
First time I seen her walk by, man I 'bout fell off out my chair
F C Dm
Had to get her number, it took me like six weeks
Bb F C F
Now me and her go way back like Cadillac seats
[Chorus 1]
F C Dm
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
Bb F C F
I know every curve like the back of my hand
F C Dm
Doin' fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry
Bb F C F
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
[Verse 2]
F C Dm
The way she fit in them blue jeans, she don't need no belt
Bb F C F
But I can turn 'em inside out, I don't need no help
F C Dm
Got hips like honey, so thick and so sweet
Bb F C F
There ain't no curves like hers on them downtown streets
[Chorus 2]
F C Dm
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
Bb F C F
I know every curve like the back of my hand
F C Dm
Doin' fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry
Bb F C F
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
[Interlude]
F C Dm
Bb F C F
[Verse 3]
F C Dm
Were out here in the boondocks with the breeze and the birds
Bb F C F
Tangled up in the tall grass with my lips on hers
F C Dm
On the highway to heaven, headed south of her smile
Bb F C F
We get there when we get there, every inch is a mile
[Chorus 3]
F C Dm
Body like a back road, drivin' with my eyes closed
Bb F C F
I know every curve like the back of my hand
F C Dm
Doin' fifteen in a thirty, I ain't in no hurry
Bb F C F
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
N.C.
I'ma take it slow just as fast as I can
