You traveled the four corners of this world, so, tell me what made you stop right here 
            D                     C                 D                    Em 
At this ca- fe' in this one horse town, well, I was drinkin' a cold rude beer 
                    C                 Em                   C 
And then you walked through the door, I felt my heart just hit the floor 
Em                       D                       G 
That's when this country boy fell in love with a city girl 
 
G                  D                        C                D                G 
I'm just a country boy that's all I've ever known, just some cowboy stop like that 
                    D                             C                    D                Em 
I thought the world dropped off at the end of the county road, but you proved it wasn't flat 
          C                 Em         C 
Show me a brand new risin', unlike any west Texas sun rise 
Em        C                    D         C 
And easey as I never seen any- thin', so beautiful 
 
G                              Em 
A country boy and a city girl, comin' from two different worlds 
C                                  D             C 
As different as day and night, but nothin's ever felt so right 
G                                     Em 
The hot pavement of the city streets, the dirt roads and the muddy feet 
C                     D                                          G

You hear my southern talk, you see my bull leg- ged walk, girl, I fm as country as I could be 
G               D                            C             D                         Em 
But if you ever (unidentified words) of your banks for the bright lights of the cit- y 
                    C              Em                 C 
I tell my mamma and daddy goodbye, and I buy me a new suit and tie 
Em               C                           D                   C

G                                     Em 
The hot pavement of the city streets, the dirt roads and the muddy feet
