(Intro.)
|(Em) / / / | x 4

(Verse)
(Em)In this town a girl like me ain't (Am)got nowhere to go
With-(Em)out my mama finding out before I (Am)even get back (Em)home
I can (Em)hide out in the bleachers but (Am)I don't play those games
If I (Em)partied at the trailer park well I'd (Am)wreck my family (Em)name
So I'd (Em)take a ride off 55 (Am)down a gravel road
(Em)Pulled up to a shady spot where (Am)no one thinks to (B7)go

(Chorus)
In the (Em)back of that Baptist parking lot in the (Am)bed of his Chevrolet
(Em)Pass the bottle, take a shot, (B7)wash our sins away
It's a (Am)little white lie no one's ever gonnaa find
(Em)Just across the county line
(Am)Making the most of what we got
(B7) But in the back of that Baptist parking (Em)lot / / / |(Em) / /

(Verse)
I tell (Em)mama every Wednesday night I'm (Am)going out to church
I (Em)cross my heart and dot my I's what (Am)she don't know won't (Em)hurt
(Em)Let the town think what they want about (Am)this homecoming queen
(Em)Underneath this Bible Belt there's an-(B7)other side of me

(Chorus)
In the (Em)back of that Baptist parking lot in the (Am)bed of his Chevrolet
(Em)Pass the bottle, take a shot, (B7)wash our sins away
It's a (Am)little white lie no one's ever gonnaa find
(Em)Just across the county line
(Am)Making the most of what we got
(B7) In the back of that Baptist parking (Em)lot / / / |(Em) / /

(Break)
Well that (Am)tall white steeple keeps a tall tale secret
(Em)Only the good Lord knows
If the (Em)tall white steeple ever tells our secrets
Have (B7)mercy on my soul

(Pre-Chorus)
In the (Em)back of that Baptist parking lot (back of that Baptist parking lot)
In the (Em)back of that Baptist parking lot
(B7)Hey-ey-ey-ey

(Chorus)
In the (Em)back of that Baptist parking lot in the (Am)bed of his Chevrolet
(Em)Pass the bottle, take a shot, (B7)wash our sins away
It's a (Am)little white lie no one's ever gonna find
(Em)Just across the county line
(Am)Making the most of what we got
(B7) In the back of that Baptist parking (Em)lot
In the (Am)back of that Baptist parking (Em)lot
