Loved you so much, loved you so mu-u-huuuch, I stayed 
                              Eb
around when I should've moved along.

Eb
I say, hi there, high line, hello highway, here come a 

big old semi my way.
Eb
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come but the truck 

goes by and he looks like he's flyin'.
Eb
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's, they go woop, 

woop, woop, woop, woop!!
