[Verse]
D Am
I met a girl from Brownsville
C G
She a kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill
D Am C
And I told her about my friends back home what they'd say
G
How she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am C G
Lasting words in the lasting night
D Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
C
I want to jump up and say
N.C.
Let's row away from everything
[Verse 2]
D Am
Said she was a cutter
C G
And well I, I said my dad's a preacher man, he could
D Am C
Well, I took her to the boat out down by the lake
G
Well, she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am C G
Lasting words in the lasting night
D Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
C
I want to jump up and say
G
Let's row away from everything
[Bridge]

D Am C
I kindly took her by the hand, oh I
G
Just to make her understand it all
D Am C G
And I took her to the boat out down by the lake
D Am C
And just when everything was said, you see I
G
I hugged her hard around her head, and then I
D A C
I told her there are things that we shouldn't say
G
Now watch me say and she spoke
[Chorus]
D Am C G
Lasting words in the lasting night
D Am
And every time I see a boat by a lake
C
I want to jump up and say
G
Let's row away from everything she spoke
