Tryin' to scrub off the dirt

Watchin' the traffic pass me by

D                 G       A                  
All day I keep a picture

                    D  Dsus2 D 
Of my baby in my head

D                       G          A                   
At night I dream I'm with her

Well one day I looked straight at her and she looked straight back
[Bridge]
G            D            A G             
Grey clouds stretch across

The white moon

G                              D                               
Sitting in the backyard in my old car

A               D  Dsus2 D 
We hum out of tune
[Verse 3]
D               G    A                   D  Dsus2 D

D       G    A                                        D  Dsus2 D
Said "Now son can't you see that she's just a little girl

D                 G   A                              D  
Who don't know nothing 'bout the meanness in this world"

D                 G     A                        D  Dsus2 D
Took off down to Florida yeah we got along all right

D                            G                   
One day her brothers came and got her

         A                         D  Dsus2 D 
And they took me in a black and white

D                        G       A
The prosecutor kept his promise 

A                     D  Dsus2 D
That he made on that day

D                      G                A                 
Well she was sad and the judge was mad

A                      D 
They put me straight away
[Bridge]
G                           A     G      
Well they said she was too young

G                             A   G                
She was no younger than I've been 

G                        D                        
When she put her arms around me 

         A            D  Dsus2 D
And the night closed in
[Verse 5]
D                         G                      
Well sometimes I dream of getting out of here

A                               D  Dsus2 D                      
Heading down towards them old tracks

D                         G          A     
I swore I'd come and get her, but I know

                     D  Dsus2 D 
I ain't never going back

D                   G         A  
There's nights I can't sleep

                      D  Dsus2 D 
No matter how hard I try

D                   G                    A                    
So from my window I watch the moonlight

                     D  
Fall on the far hillside

D                      G      
I imagine I put on my jacket

    A                            D  Dsus2 D 
Go down to this little roadside bar

D                          G                     A            
Pick a stranger and spin around the dance floor

                  D  Dsus2 D 
To a Mexican guitar
