 Em7                        Em
Growing up in the backwoods my
daddy raised me good
 Em7
Said girl gotta look down
              G       D
where you're walking walking
 Em7                        Em
They're kinda hard to spot blend
in with the river rocks
 Em7                 Em
Better run run that cottonmouth
       Gmaj7

The older I get they
       G         D
don't hiss they kiss
            Em
They don't slither they drive
in a real nice ride
          Em
And they pick you up at night
