One time I saw my daddy dance, watched him moving like a man in a trance 
        Branch water and tomato wine 
        Creosote and turpentine 
        Sour Mash and New Moonshine 
 
First kiss I ever took, like a page from a romance book 
                *** Instrumental break  
        Took a fall from a windy height 
        I only knew how to hold on tight 
        And pray for love enough to last all night

Day breaks and the boy wakes up 
(D6/G) 
And the dog barks and the bird sings 
(D6/G)                                   A7ss4 
And the sap rises and the angels sigh....Yeah 
 
I tried to go back as if I could, all-spec house and plywood 
It doesn't come as a surprise to me, it doesn't touch my memory 
        Half a mile down to Morgan Creek,  
        Leaning heavy on the end of the week 
        Hercules and a hog-nosed snake
