I think she only likes me for my Willie (video)

D

1. Well, we were pickin’ in a honky tonk in Austin,

G

this girl came up and bought the band a round.

D

I said, can we play something for you, darling,

E A

before we get last call and shut this old bar down ?

D

Then she asked, can you play me Whiskey River ?

G

I turned around and said, boys kick er off in A !

D

And I did my best impersonation for her,

E A D

that one performance stole her heart away.

G D

But I think she only loves me for my Willie,

G D

something about my Willie turns her on.

G D

It’s not all that extraordinary, really,

E A

but it’s better than my Haggard and my Jones.

G D

It’s a little thing and you might think it’s silly,

F# G

ah, but you can bet it’s always on her mind.

G D - B7

I think she only loves me for my Willie,

E A D

she keeps askin’ for my Willie all the time,

D

2. We all got in my truck and headed out for breakfast,

G

I stuck in my Willie CD.

D

You’d have thought that I was drivin’ in a Lexus,

E A

the way she scooted over and snuggled up to me.

D

I said, honey, can you tell me why you’re with me ?

G

She thought about it hard and she said :

D

Well, it’s just your personality that gets me !

E A D

But the naked truth kept poundin’ in my head.

+ CHORUS

Bm E

+ She begged me not to go on the road again,

A D

and leave her blue eyes cryin’ in the rain.

Bm E

She swears that these four walls will drive her crazy,

A A7

if I go out there singin’ to all those girls I’ve loved before again.

+ CHORUS

+ B7 - E - G - A - G - A - E - A - D - G

E A D

+ She keeps beggin’ for my Willie all the time.
