(E5 = 022X00)

Verse:
E5               D          A
 Excuse me ma’am, I saw you walkin’
E5               D          A
 I turned around, I’m not a stalker
E5                D           A
 Where you going? Maybe I can help you
E5                        D             A
 My tank is full, and I’d be obliged to take you

Chorus:
             E5                      D       A
‘Cause I’m a country boy, I’ve got a 4-wheel drive
E5                     D              A
 Climb in my bed, I’ll take you for a ride
E5               D             A
 Up city streets, down country roads
E5                       D         A              E5
 I can get you where you need to go, ’cause I’m a country boy

Verse:
You sure look good, sittin’ in my right seat
Buckle up, I’ll take you through the five speeds
Wind it up, or I can slow it way down
In the woods or right uptown

Chorus

Bridge:
B7
 Big 35’s whinin’ on the asphalt
A                                   A7
 Grabbin’ mud, and slingin’ up some red dirt
             E5
’cause I’m a country boy

Verse:
My muffler’s loud, dual Thrush tubes
I crank the music, the tone gets real good
Let me know when we’re gettin’ close
You can slide on out, or we can head on down the road
