She was a level headed dancer on the road to alchohol
G   D                                         G
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal

Well, she pressed her chest against me, 
D—C       C7                    Csus6
about the time the juke box broke

C-D  D          G-Csus6               D  
She gave me a peck on the back of the neck 
   G-Csus6         D        G   
and these are the words she spoke

G
Blow up your tv, throw away your paper
G         D                       G
Go to the country and build you a home
G                      G-Csus6   
Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches
             D              G 
Try and find Jesus, on your own

I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
Cause I knew that topless lady, she had something up her sleeve  
She danced around the room awhile and she did the hoochy coo
And sing a song all night long, telling me what to do

Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country and build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lotta peaches
Try and find Jesus, on your own

But I was young and about to leave that place
Just as I was going, she looked me in the face  
I said, "You must know the answer", 
She said "No, but I'll give it a try."
And to this day, we've been living our way, 
here is the reason why

We blew up the TV, threw away the paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lotta children, fed them on peaches
They all found Jesus, on their own (C) =>>(G)
