[Verse 1]
E
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
E
Same grade as me
E
Tried to kiss her once in the aisle of the bus
E
And she walked right over me
A
Face-down in the gum on the floor
A
I was hopin' that she'd change her mind
E
But I swear as she walked down the stairs
E
She didn't even wave goodbye
B E
Didn't even wave goodbye
[Verse 2]
E
Ray Dixon didn't take no lip
E
He'd kick you right off the bus
E
Stop by your house on the way out of the holler
E
And tell your momma where you was
A
He didn't need no driver's aid
A
To keep a bunch of kids in line
E
All he needed was a glare in the mirror
E
And a paddle that he carved from pine
B E
Blisterin' punk kids alive (Oh, blister 'em)
[Verse 3]
E
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
E
Same grade as me
E
I held onto hope for eight long years
E
And by the time that I turned sixteen
A
I wasn't awkward, I's a real smooth talker
A
With my very own pickup truck
E
I'd take her home and if her parents weren't around
E
She'd bring me in and give me some
B E
Bring me in and give me some
[Verse 4]
E
Safe to say nowadays ol' Ray
E
Can't keep a route very long
E
And I'm glad the little girl's dad
E
Never found out what was goin' on
A
I know he'd kill me in a minute
A
And he wouldn't have left no trace
E
Hogs'll eat 'bout anything you give 'em
E
And they don't let nothin' go to waste
B E
Don't let nothin' go to waste
[Outro]
E
This is where we dropped off the prettiest little girl
E
Same grade as me
