[Verse]
 C                    C/E
September sun falling out of the sky
F                                  C
 Gettin' out the way for a Friday night
                    C/E
Check the rear view one last time
 F
Make sure the bill on your cap's bent right
 
 C              C/E
Put 20 bucks of 87 in your truck
F                                               Am7
And hide your Copenhagen can 'fore you pick her uo
                G
Her small-town smile makes you fall in love
 F
Like it always does
