(Verse)
Well, (G)we were sittin' on the truck bed
When it started (F)rainin', she said, "(C)I don't mind"
Got her (G)dancin' in a white sundress
Couldn't even (F)find one dry thread, (C)my oh my

(Pre-Chorus)
(G)I, I didn't (F)know what I was (C)getting into
(G)I, (NC)I wish the four-wheel drive was just two

(Chorus)
'Cause a (G)girl like her on a night like this
Make a (F)man wanna stay right (C)where he is
There's (G)trouble in the way her green eyes are glowin'
I'm (F)holdin' on tight, (C)prayin' and hopin'
This (G)truck battery dies
Or the (F)road's too muddy to (C)drive
Wanna (G)stay right here all night
If the (F)good Lord's willin', that (C)creek will rise (G) / / / |(G) / / / |(F) / /

(Verse)
Next (C)thing I know
I had my (G)blue jeans hangin' on a tree limb
She was smilin' (F)at me, pullin' (C)me in
Out where the (G)creek bend bends in the yellow moon light
Makin' (F)fishin' in the dark (C)come to life

(Chorus)
'Yeah, a (G)girl like her on a night like this
Make a (F)man wanna stay right (C)where he is
There's (G)trouble in the way her green eyes are glowin'
I'm (F)holdin' on tight, (C)prayin' and hopin'
This (G)truck battery dies
Or the (F)road's too muddy to (C)drive
Wanna (G)stay right here all night
If the (F)good Lord's willin', that (C)creek will rise

(Break)
Well, it was (G)four in the mornin' when the storm quit stormin'
I was (F)fallin' faster than (C)Earnhardt and Gordon
Like a (G)dirt road Daytona in my heart
And (F)we ain't even got to the (C)best part
We (G)didn't have a towel, didn't have dry clothes
She was (F)smilin' and sayin', "(C)Hold me, I'm cold"
(G)We made a blanket out of that sundress
And the (NC)radio won't even let me tell you the rest

(Chorus)
'Cause a (G)girl like her on a night like this
Make a (F)man wanna stay right (C)where he is
There's (G)trouble in the way her green eyes are glowin'
I'm (F)holdin' on tight, (C)prayin' and hopin'
This (G)truck battery dies
Or the (F)road's too muddy to (C)drive
Wanna (G)stay right here all night
If the (F)good Lord's willin', that (C)creek will rise |(G) / / / |(G) / / / |

(Outro.)
(F) Well, that (C)creek will rise (G) / / / |(G) / / / |(F) / / / |(C) / / / |(G) - - - - -
