1. She was a level headed dancer on the road to alcohol,

          E                                                              A

    and I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal.

               A                

    She pressed her chest against me,

                     D

    about the time the juke box broke,

            E

    she gave me a peck on the back of the neck,

                                                     A

    and these are the words she spoke.

 

 - - - - - - - - - -   A

Blow up your T.V. (blow up your T.V.),

 

throw away your paper (throw away your paper),

                  E                             A

go to the country, build you a home.

                      A

Plant a little garden (plant a little garden),

 

eat a lot of peaches (hoo, hoo)

                    E                      A

try and find Jesus on your own.

 

        A                                       D

2. I sat there at the table and I acted real naïve,

               E                                                                     A

    for I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve.

              A                                                         D

    She danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo,

             E                                                                      A

    she sang her song all night long, tellin’ me what to do.

3. But I was young and hungry and about to leave that place,

               E                                                                        A

    when just as I was going’, well, she looked me in the face

                  A                                                           D

    I said, “You must know the answer”, she said, “No, but I'll give it a try!”

            E                                           

    And to this very day we've been livin’ our way,

                                          A

    and here is the reason why.

 

 - - - - - - - - - -    A

We blew up the T.V. (blew up thr T.V.),

 

threw away our paper (threw away our paper),

                        E                          A

moved to the country, built us a home.

                       A

Had a lot of childen, yes, we did,

 

fedem on peaches (hoo, hoo)

                        E                     A

they all found Jesus on their own.
