Intro: (C#) (F#) (G#) x 2

(C#) Never knew my (F#) old man's truck could even (G#) run like that
(C#) Should've known (F#) better than to take that (G#) curve so fast
(C#) Daddy pulled up, I was (F#) down in a ditch
He (G#) asked me why I did what I (NC) did

 There was this (C#) girl, drink in her (F#) hand
 Shootin' me a (G#) "let's get into trouble" grin
 I ain't never (C#) seen somethin' so (F#) fine
 And I was doin' (G#) anything to make her mine
 I was out of my (D#m) mind, she was out of this (G#) world
 There was this (C#) girl

Some folks ask me why I still pick this guitar
They say livin' that life on the road won't get you very far
I say man you should've been down in Tupelo
Seen what was in the front row

 There was this girl, beer in her hand
 Shootin' me a "play a little Skynyrd" grin
 She's turnin' it up, she's turnin' me on
 And I'd play her anything she'd sing along
 I was out of my mind, she was out of this world
 There was this girl
 Yeah there was this girl

Didn't know a diamond ring could cost so much (damn)
Took six months on a farm 'fore I saved up
All my drinkin' buddies still out on the town
Wonderin' why I ever settled down

 But there was this girl, holdin' my hand
 Shootin' me a "start a life together" grin
 She's pullin' me in, she's straightenin' me out
 And now I know what love is all about
 I'm still out of my mind, she's still out of this world
 There was this girl
 Yeah, there was this girl
 Yeah, there was this girl
 There was this girl
