[Verse 1]
D
She came down from Boston to be closer to her mother
G D
And to try a little taste of country life
A7
She was her mother's only daughter from a good school
D
Where they taught her how to walk and talk and fold a napkin right
[Verse 2]
D
I was boots and Levis born for driving cows and planting corn
G
And anything that sparkled caught my eye
A A7
She was a different kind of flower nothing like my country clover
D
But I figured I could touch her if I tried
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
I only meant to touch her just one time and let her go
D G Em A7
But touching her was loving her and how was I to know
G A7 D G
That she'd be the kind of flower calloused hands would never hold
A7 D
While I was reaching for her body, she was reaching for my soul
[Solo]
| D | A7 | A7 | A7 | D | D |
[Verse 3]
D
She went back to Boston my soul is all it cost me
G D
Just to touch her now I wish I'd never tried
A A7
She was a different kind of flower and after having known her
D
I just can't keep country clover on my mind
[Chorus]
G A7 D G
I only meant to touch her just one time and let her go
D G Em A7
But touching her was loving her and how was I to know
G A7 D G
That she'd be the kind of flower calloused hands would never hold
A7 D
While I was reaching for her body, she was reaching for my soul
