Capo 4
A
The sun is setting on a hard day's work
A G D
Sure feels good to get 'er all done
A
Washed off the sweat, the hay and the dirt
D
Now it's time to have some fun
A
I'll go meet Amy at the Dixie Dog
A G D
Get a #3 and a Coke float
A
Make the drag, then later on
D
We'll head down to the cove
Chorus:
E A
Back up the pickup truck, right up to the lake
D A
Throw a blanket on the tailgate
E
Listen to the bullfrog
A B
Serenade in the moonlight
E A
In the truck bed they?re dancin' slow
D A
We'll sing along with the radio
E A B
Sippin' on Grandma's home made wine
A
Livin' the good life
There's a cottonwood tree
With a limb hangin' over
We'll do the cannonball off a rope swing
She can dry her clothes out by the fire
I swear I won't peek
I'll be wishin' that
The night could last forever
As I'm looking into her doe eyes
Ride back home with her head on my shoulder
Can't wait till next time
Chorus
