I spent a summer down south, working for the county, trying to save for school
                     C#                     F#
I blew it all like a damn fool on women and beer
F#                                                       B
I didn't have the grades but I had myself a major league fastball

Booked me a flight on an airplane, I was 3rd world Peace Corps bound
F#                                           B
But I met me a stewardess right there in the airport bar
                       C#                          F#

We took our breaks on the boat docks and I got fired for smoking pot

He said a rhinestone suit and a cowboy hat outta do the trick
                           C#                            F#
