Lu lives by the river and she's 
            D         A
got herself a good good man
       A                         
Spends half the year off shore in 
       D    A
lower Alabam
    A                              
Her friends say she should leave 
                            D      
him and come join them in the west 
    A
coast sand
        A                          
But she knows she's got a keeper 
                       D    A
and they'll never really understand

un-der-sta-aa-and

           D                     
She puts a line in the water when 
                          E
the sun comes up, starts drinkin' 
when it's goin' down
A                                 
Dancin' all alone to the radio 
      D
till her man comes back around
She might go down to Pensacola, 
      E
maybe lay out on the ol' gulf shore
    A                           
But she don't go to bars at home 
     D
without him anymore
She don't care about what they say, 
          E
she don't listen anyway

        A                          
All the roughneck rounders playing 
               D  A
cards around a TV set
A                                 
Waitin' around for somethin'[ that
        D        A
 hadn't happened yet
A                                 
Jokin' with a dancer she says, "I 
             D     A
can help you to forget"
       A                           
But he knows he's got a keeper so 
                      D   A
he smiles and lights a cigarette
    A    G#  F#m G# A    D A
And tips his haa-aa-aat

            D                      
He puts his head on the pillow when
                          E
 the sun comes up, starts workin' 
when it's going down
A                                 
Melting hot steel down in 
        D
Bienville, just waiting on a 
turnaround
He starts thinkin' about Pensacola, 
            E
he could be fishin' on the ol' gulf 
shore
    A                              
But he don't like to do those 
      D
things without her anymore
He don't care about what they say, 
         E
he never listened anyway

They put their lines in the water 
                         E
when the sun comes up, start 
drinkin' when it's going down
A                                 
Dancing real slow to the radio 
       D
cause her man's come back around
They might go down to Pensacola, do 
         E
a little fishin' on the ol' gulf 
shore
A                             
They don't like to stay out all 
            D
night the way they did before
They don't care about what they say,
           E
 she never listens anyway
