  			A 
Take me back to the muddy water 
Where the bull and the cow don't bother 
Pick up a girl I know won't holler 
Head outta town, watch the sun go down 
E                 D 
Maybe later we'll call some friends 
A -no/chord 
Tell em meet us where the pavement ends 


A 
I got some fat-wood rollin' in the truck bed 
Fine pine that's what she said 
I found a little forest where the kindling's strong 
A -no/chord 
Burns real hot but it don't last long 
E                               D     
Just cause I get her warm don't mean I'll see skin 
A -no/chord 
But I'm gonna start a fire where the pavement ends 


*Chorus* 
        D 
You can get you a buzz, blame it on the radio 
A 
Find a lighter, live a little higher 
E                                  A   
Take it all in, let the good times roll 
         D  
And on a clear night, who needs the headlights 
A 
Drop in low, drive by the moonlight 
E            D 
Out here the world don't spin 
A -no/chord 
Everything stops where the pavement ends 


A 
Drop me off on my homegrown red clay 
Where the deer and possum do play 
Turn off the phone, it's never too late to 
Cast a line, get your peace of mind 
E                  D  
Life's too fast to run my friend 
A -no/chord 
Slow it on down where the pavement ends 

*Chorus* 
        D 
You can get you a buzz, blame it on the radio 
A 
Find a lighter, live a little higher 
E                                  A   
Take it all in, let the good times roll 
         D  
And on a clear night, who needs the headlights 
A 
Drop in low, drive by the moonlight 
E            D 
Out here the world don't spin 
A -no/chord 
Everything stops where the pavement ends 


*Chorus* 
        D 
You can get you a buzz, blame it on the radio 
A 
Find a lighter, live a little higher 
E                                  A   
Take it all in, let the good times roll 
         D  
And on a clear night, who needs the headlights 
A 
Drop in low, drive by the moonlight 
E            D 
Out here the world don't spin
