        G  F  C 


      G 
Well, we were sittin' on the truck 

Bed 
                 F 
When it started rainin', she said 
 C 
"I don't mind" 
         G 
Got her dancin' in a white sundress 
               F 
Couldn't even find one dry thread 
C 
My oh my 


    G 
I I I 
          F               C 
I didn't know what I was getting 

Into 
G 
I I I I I I I 

I wish the four-wheel drive was just 

Two 


          G 
'Cause a girl like her on a night 

Like this 
        F                    C 
Make a man wanna stay right where he 

Is 
         G 
There's trouble in the way her green 

Eyes are glowin' 
     F                 C 
I'm holdin' on tight, prayin' and 

Hopin' 

      G 
This truck battery dies 
        F                   C 
Or the road's too muddy to drive 
       G 
Wanna stay right here all night 
        F 
If the good Lord's willin', that 
 C               G  F 
Creek will ri-i-ise 


      C 
Next thing I know 
          G 
I had my blue jeans hangin' on a 

Tree limb 
                F              C 
She was smilin' at me, pullin' me in 
               G 
Out where the creek bend bends in 

The yellow moon light 
        F                   C 
Makin' fishin' in the dark come to 

Life 


          G 
'Yeah, a girl like her on a night 

Like this 
        F                    C 
Make a man wanna stay right where he 

Is 
         G 
There's trouble in the way her green 

Eyes are glowin' 
     F                 C

        F 
If the good Lord's willin', that 
 C               G 
Creek will ri-i-ise

              G 
Well, it was four in the mornin' 

When the storm quit stormin' 
       F                   C 
I was fallin' faster than Earnhardt 

And Gordon 
        G 
Like a dirt road Daytona in my heart 
    F                         C 
And we ain't even got to the best 

Part 

    G 
We didn't have a towel, didn't have 

Dry clothes 
         F                    C 
She was smilin' and sayin', "Hold 

Me, I'm cold" 
G 
We made a blanket out of that 

Sundress 

And the radio won't even let me tell 

You the rest 


          G 
'Cause a girl like her on a night

 C               G     F 
Creek will ri-i-iiiiiiise 

Final: 

            C               G  F 
Well, that creek will ri-i-ise
