NICKAJACK River Road
F
It was a hot June morning on the interstate
F
She was flagging me down, I was 20 minutes late
Bb
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
F
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
F
With just one look, it was heart and soul
Bb C
We were like a river running out of control
CHORUS:
F
When the Tennessee River hits the nickajack dam
F
Up come the water over nickajack land
Bb
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
F
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
C
When you buckle -er down 'til she's a begging to break
Bb F
Well a Tennesee River will make a nickajack lake
F
2.) We spent a week together in the next two nights
F
it was a barn burnin' nothin' ever fit so right
Bb
Before we both knew it we were makin' some plans
F
Seeing rings on our fingers, on both of our hands
C
Daddy said I was crazy, then Mamas both cried
Bb C
But you gotta tell the world when you feel it inside
F
3.) Now we got a cabin with a window view
F
of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
Bb
We got a layaway cradle her jeans are gettin' tight
F
I guess lovin' make livin' and livin' makes life
C
I know how it is now the way it should be
Bb C
Cause I look outside and what do I see
