Intro: 4/4 ... ‖       |     |      |     ‖  
   
 G                       D 
1. I re-mem-ber all them sum-mers
Am                           C
   Play-ing 'til my fin-gers bled
 G                                   D
   You'd sing the songs and I'd sing with you
Am                          C
   We'd get drunk and go to bed
   
 G                           D
2. Look-ing back at all them mem'-ries
Am                         C
   Lord, I hate to sleep a-lone
 G                          D
   But if you ev-er get the no-tion
Am                          C  
   That you need me, let me know
   
                    G
Chorus: 'Cause it's just two hours to get there babe
         D
         I can make it back a-bout an hour or so
         Am
         Hold you close a-gainst my skin
           C
         I need a little warmth on a night so cold
         
         G
         Sing-ing songs that you used to sing
             D
         The one a-bout the la-dy in the long black veil
         Am
         Should have seen the warn-ings signs
             C
         But Lord I love to hear you wail
         
         G
         High and lone-some, hard and strong
         D
         E-ven if it was a lit-tle out of tune
         Am
         Hot-ter than socks on a jer-sey gi-ant
         C
         Lord I thought you hung the moon           
            G      D     Am
         |      |     |      |          
         C
         Lord I thought you hung the moon
         
 G                       D                
3. I re-mem-ber all them win-ters
Am                             C
   Drink-ing Wood-ford 'til we drowned
  G                       D    
   We'd get wind a-bout a par-ty
Am                      C   
   Bun-dle up and go to town
   
 G                          D     
4. Ne-ver wor-ry 'bout the po-lice
Am                         C
   Ne-ver worr-ied much at all
 G                                  D      
   I miss those nights of reck-less glo-ry
Am                                 C    
   And I'd come back if you'd just call    
   
                    G
Chorus: 'Cause it's just two hours to get there babe
         D
         I can make it back a-bout an hour or so
         Am
         Hold you close a-gainst my skin
           C
         I need a little warmth on a night so cold
         
         G
         Sing-ing songs that you used to sing

         Am
         Hot-ter than socks on a jer-sey gi-ant
         C
         Lord I thought you hung the moon  
         
            G      D     Am     C

     Am                          C
Bridge: I left town when we were o-ver
     Am                          C
       'Cause it didn't feel the same
     Am                       C    
        Every back-road had a mem-'ry
     Am                            D        Dsus4   D7
        And every memory held your na   -   a   -   ame...  𝄑
