[Verse 1]
Hey,
baby I [G]just asked your daddy
If [Am]I could tak[A]e your han[D]d
He said, "Boy, over [G]my dead body"
Guess I [Am]ain't [A]his kinda [D]man

[Verse 2]
But I [D]love you and you [G]love me
So, [Am]baby I [A]gotta [D]plan
We'll push my truck off
of [G]Red Top Bridge
[A]Right below the Jackson Dam
Hey, [D]they'll

[Verse 3]
be drag
[G]gin' the river
Catchin' [Am]nothin' but
an ol' cat[D]fish
They'll be [G]draggin' the river
That'll [Am]show that son of
[A]a b[D]itch

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][D][G][Am]
[D]It's

[Verse 4]
been rainin' for the [G]last two weeks
So the [Am]water's [A]up good and [D]high
We'll just wait 'til it's good n' [G]late
So there [A]ain't [Am]nobody [A]passin' [D]by

[Verse 5]
I'll [D]call my cousin
[G]He'll pick us up an' [Am]take us

By [A]the time [Am]they're lookin' for us
[A]And they'll

[Verse 6]
[D]be dra[G]ggin' the river
But [Am]they ain't [A]gonna find [D]a thing
They'll be [G]draggin' the river

[Verse 7]
[A]Ah, we're gonna show [Am]'em[F]

[Verse 8]
[D]I know that it might sound crazy
Just a little bit too extreme
[Dm]But [D]to get some
[G]of your sweet lovin'
Baby, [Am]I'd do anything

[Verse 9]
[Dm]Sooner o[D]r later
They'll [G]find my letter say[Am]in'
that we're al[D]right
We'll be rockin' at the [G]Red Roof Inn
[Am]This time tomorrow [A]night

[Verse 10]
And [D]they'll be [G]draggin' the river
Sayin', [Am]"Lord,
what a cryin' [A]shame"[D][G]
[D]They'll be [G]draggin' the river
[A]We'll be runnin',
[D]they'll never see it comin'

[Verse 11]
[D]They'll be [G]draggin' the [A]river[D]
They'll be [G]draggin' the [A]river
But they ain't gonna [D]find a

[Verse 12]
[G]
Sorry about callin' your [Am]dad a son
[D]of a bitch [G]earlier
Hey, do you think he'll still
hire [A]me?[D]
Whoa, that thing's little

[Outro 1]
The diamond, I mean
