1. Well, the bus pulled away in a roaring black cloud

                   B7                                            E

    while I stood in the road, and, honey, I hollered right out loud.

                 E                                       A

    “Hey, darlin’, I love you !”   “Hey, bus driver, whoa !”

                   B7                                               A              E

    But you can’t stop a woman when she’s out of control.

 

             A                     B7

She’s crazy for leavin’, I told her so,

                  E                                               B7

when the boys at the bus stop just said, “Man let her go !”

             A                    B7    

She’s crazy for leavin, I told her so,

               A                 E                            B7            E

but you can’t stop a woman when she’s out of control.

 

              E                                       A

2. So I punched out my truck on a telephone pole,

                     B7                                                 E

    now she never looked back, she just said, “Go, driver, go !”

                    E                                              A

    Well, I know I could have caught her but I ran out of luck,

                    B7                                                      A                         E

    she was long gone to Lufkin by the time they cut me out of my truck.

3. So I kicked and I cussed that old east Texas road,

                      B7                                         E

    I throwed rocks at my truck which had busted my nose.

                   E                          A

    You add insult to injury, what do you get ?

                      B7                                                A           E

    You get a bus stop full of honkies that don’t ever forget.

 

             A                     B7

She’s crazy for leavin’, I told her so,

                  E                                               B7

when the boys at the bus stop just said, “Man let her go !”

             A                    B7    

She’s crazy for leavin, I told her so,

               A                  E                            B7            E

but you can’t stop a woman when she’s out of control.

 

                   A                  E                           B7            E

+  No you can’t stop a woman when she’s out of control.
