Verse 1: 
                     A                       E 
Those horses need to run like wheels need to roll 
           B 
Where that rubber meets a red dirt road 
            A                        E 
I need your kiss like a cooler needs cans 
          B 
Like your body needs my two hands 
 
 
 
                 A               E 
So baby climb on up and slide on in 
          B                         E 
High as a kite, feeling free as the wind 
          A                        E 
Find that buckle next to me in the middle 
                 B 
You can grind my gears but don't you play me like a fiddle 
 
       E       A             E 
We can tie one on and come unwound 
            A                      F#m 
Turn up the heat when the sun goes down 
               A                       E                              B 
No, they don't call it a truck bed for nothing, yeah, you know that's right 
                                           A 
Nothing's better than a Silverado Saturday night

Verse 2:
N.C.           A                    E 
I got money to burn like gas in the tank 
                B 
Got the perfect spot there down by the bank 
              A                   E 
Got my old Zebco with a ten pound line 
                 B 
So kick off your boots, now it's time to shine 
 
 
 
                 A               E 
So baby climb on up and slide on in 
          B                         E 
High as a kite, feeling free as the wind 
          A                        E 
Find that buckle next to me in the middle 
                 B 
You can grind my gears but don't you play me like a fiddle 
 
       E       A             E 
We can tie one on and come unwound 
            A                      F#m 
Turn up the heat when the sun goes down 
               A                       E                              B

Bridge: 
          A               E 
It's just you and me underneath the moon 
         B 
We'll be dancing with the stars 
           A                  E 
Yeah, I'll show you what they mean 
                    B 
When they sing about fishing in the dark 
 
 
 
                 A               E 
So baby climb on up and slide on in 
          B                         E 
High as a kite, feeling free as the wind 
          A                        E 
Find that buckle next to me in the middle 
                 B
