                C                          F
Well, I've had cold and humid mornings on city
                  C
streets and back porches
     G                                           C
But I ain't never breathed a breath as fresh as you
                C
And I've seen children playin' on the coastlines
            F                     C
Under the white lines, atop the blue tides
           F           C           G
But I ain't ever been baptized in water as
         C
cool as you
         C
And the law don't ever come back here and I
 F                  C
Reckon they don't try
        F               C
I just put some beer on ice
            G                      C
Let's just dance for a moment or two

Chorus:
                   Am          G       C         F
'Cause you're the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
      Am            G         C        F
The stars in St. Louis ain't burnin' bright as you
            Am             G           C        F
You're the waves crashin' down on the Eastern Coast
          Am           G            C
When the day's coolin' off and the summertime's
   F
closed
        Am           G            C     F
I lost faith in the world a long time ago

We'd always ride those back roads back
when you got sick
Roll the windows down just for the hell of it
You always acted baptized every time we
hit the coast
Bandana tan line on your forehead,
so the tourists didn't know

Chorus:
You’re the fire of Carolina and Oklahoma too
And the stars in San Luis ain't burnin'
bright as you
You're the waves crashin' down on
the Eastern Coast
When the day's coolin' off and the
summertime's close
I lost faith in the world a long time ago
My blood rushed to the heart, you were my last hope

And the law don't ever come back here and
I reckon they don't try
I just put some beer on ice and tonight
I'm dancin' for two
