Well, she was standing by the highway
G D
In her boots and silver spurs

Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
G D
When a Cadillac stopped for her
D Am
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you,
G D

G D
The world caught fire that day
C G D
And she went down - swingin'
C G D

D Am
Well, she was over twenty-one
G D
In trouble with the law
D Am
And it didn't faze her none
G D
She called her mother-in-law
D Am
And said I need a little money
G D
I knew I could count on you
D Am
After that night in Vegas

We went down - swingin' - like Benny Goodman
C G D
Yeah, we went down - swingin'

She was 'cross the Georgia line
D Am
Looked out the window feeling great
G D

D Am
And she said I'm never goin' back
G D
She said at last I'm free

She’d be so proud of me
