| Em  D    | C  G*   |

[Verse 1]
Em              D
  Hey girl, I'm just a small town run around
C                G
  I get my kicks out on the outskirts of town
Em              D
  I could never do it like a pretty city boy
C                    G
  I'm more a fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy
Em                D
  So lay back and let me paint you a picture
C           C*
  The way I wanna kiss you is

[Chorus]
C     G
 Slow as the Mississippi
Em      D
 Strong as a fifth of whiskey
C            G
 Steady as a Tom Petty track
Em              D
  I wanna love, wanna love you like that
C       G
 Deeper than a sunset sky
Em         D             C
  Sweeter than muscadine wine
          G
All night 'til the sun comes back
Em              D                              Em
  I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

[Verse 2]
Em                  D
  When I'm with you I can see down the road girl
C                     G
  Not just the gravel one we're travelin' on girl
Em                D
  And I'm bettin' that it's gonna be a wild ride
C               G
  But I promise that I'm gonna be there by your side
Em                D
  I think we got another memory in the makin'
C         C
  So baby let's take it, take it

[Chorus]
C     G
 Slow as the Mississippi
Em      D
 Strong as a fifth of whiskey
C            G
 Steady as a Tom Petty track
Em              D
  I wanna love, wanna love you like that
C       G
 Deeper than a sunset sky
Em         D             C
  Sweeter than muscadine wine
          G
All night 'til the sun comes back
Em              D                               Em
  I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

[Bridge]
Em              D
  I ain't gonna do it like a pretty city boy
C              G
 I'm a fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy

[Chorus]
C
 yeah  so let me love you
C     G
 Slow as the Mississippi
Em      D
 Strong as a fifth of whiskey
C            G
 Steady as a Tom Petty track, girl
Em              D
  I wanna love, wanna love you like that
C       G
 Deeper than a sunset sky
Em         D             C
  Sweeter than muscadine wine
          G
All night 'til the sun comes back
Em              D                              Em    D
  I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that

     C              G                              Em    D    C  G
Baby, I wanna love, wanna love, wanna love you like that
    Em               D
Yea-ah, (I can never do it like a pretty city boy)
C                       G
  (I'm more the fishin' in the dark nitty gritty boy)
