down by the river on a Friday night 

6  7  -6 -6   6   6   6   6    5     4 
a few miller cans in the pale moon light

never knew how much that muddy water meant to me 

 6 -6   7      7  7    7   6  6   6      6 6  -6 
but I learned how to swim and I learned who I was 

4  5    6    6 5    4 -4  5  5   -4    4   
a lot .bout livin' and a little'bout love 

6    7    7   7   7  6   6  6   6  -6 6 
we fogged up the windows in my old chevy

4    5     6   6   6 5   4 -4  5  5  -4  4 
I dropped her off early but I didn't go home
