Keeping us out of the sun

Ninety eight degrees in the shade of the tool shed
D/F# G
Can?t go back in the house

They?re all in the kitchen yellin? ?bout some thing

Don?t know what it?s about

She overheard Mary cussin? her brother

Called him a son of a b***h

She got a good green limb off a sweet gum sapling

Man that?s bound to sting

But Mary don?t cry just stands there and takes it

Doesn?t seem to feel a thing
G C G
No Mary don?t cry, you know she?s a big girl

She takes those licks looking in through the den door

Staring right straight at her dad
Fiddle solo..

Daddy nearly hit that bird
They?re both in the front seat

The sun?s going down in the rear view mirror
