Nickajack

Intro: (D)  (D)

         D
It was a hot June morning on the intersate
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
        G
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
  D
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
     A
With just one look, it was heart and soul
G                            A
We were like a river runnin' out of control

         D
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
         Up come the water over Nickajack land
       G
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
D
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
         A
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
       D
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake

           D
We spent a week together in the next two nights
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
   G
Be fore we both knew it we were makin' some plans
       D
Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands
      A
Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried
        G                             A
But you gotta tell the world when you got it inside

Repeat Chorus

NC
Now we got a cabin with a window veiw
NC
Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
         G
We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight
        D
I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life
  A
I know how it is now's the way it should
        G                 A
Cause I look outside, and what do I see?
