Intro: (D) (D)
D
It was a hot June morning on the intersate
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
G
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
D
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
A
With just one look, it was heart and soul
G A
We were like a river runnin' out of control
D
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up come the water over Nickajack land
G
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
D
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
A
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
D
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
D
We spent a week together in the next two nights
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
G
Be fore we both knew it we were makin' some plans
D
Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands
A
Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried
G A
But you gotta tell the world when you got it inside
Repeat Chorus
NC
Now we got a cabin with a window veiw
NC
Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
G
We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight
D
I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life
A
I know how it is now's the way it should
G A
Cause I look outside, and what do I see?
