[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D
At the Dairy Queen one Summer
D
In a far West Texas town
G
Girl was all of 16
D
She was woman pound for pound
D
Slippin' dollars in the juke box
D
Playing ZZ Top and Merle
G
Sippin' Lemon Dr. Peppers
D
My sweet West Texas girl
A
We'd step out into the desert sun
G
And curse where we came from
Bm A G
Then we'd ride to the Rio Grande and try out hands at love
[Chorus]
D A
The more I think about it, The less I understand
G D
Grab a hold of somethin good and it'll slip right through your hands
D
Will you catch me if I fall
A
Will you sit and watch me crawl
G
Through fire and burning sand
D
All the way to Monahans
D G
[Verse 2]
D
Them rich boys from the west side
D
Drive their brand new shiny cars
G
I can't blame them sons of bitches
G
They were raised to make life hard
D
On us sons of honest working men
D
The ones who grease the wheels
G
She hitched a ride to the cheating side
D
On a brokered sweetheart deal
A
I saw her cruising down at the crossroads
G
She was laughing as she waived
Bm A
I went down to the Rio Grande
G
with a six pack and my twelve gauge
[Chorus]
D A
The more I think about it, The less I understand
G D
Grab a hold of somethin good and it'll slip right through your hands
D
Will you catch me if I fall
A
Will you sit and watch me crawl
G
Through fire and burning sand
D
All the way to Monahans
Bm A G
[Verse 3]
D
It's the same old thing at the Dairy Queen
D
In a small West Texas town
G
There's a girl all of eighteen
D
You can tell that she'd been around
D
She was huggin' on her boyfriend
D
She was giving me the eye
G
She slipped past my table
D
Said honey I can make you smile
A
Her boyfriend pulled a knife on me
G
Said don't go messing with my girl
Bm A
I said, mind your own business son
G D G
I'm listening to Merle
[Chorus]
D A
The less I think about it, the more I understand
G D
Grab a hold of something good and it will slip right through your hands
D
Who will catch me if I fall
A
Who will sit and watch me crawl
G
Through fire and a burning sand
D
All the way to Monahans
[Outro]
A
Throw your heart into a black sedan
G D
And drive it all the way to Monahans
D
On to Midland
