Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro

I've been around, had my ups and my downs

Took my share and paid my dues

Went to bed with a dream in my head

And woke up with the bad boy blues

But when you're gamblin all of the time

Don't matter if you win or lose

And I ain't never been shy so I don't know why

I'm standing talking to your shoes

I guess it's cause oh, I love you so

You thrill me like a Tilt-o-Whirl

With your heart-stoppin, jaw-droppin big sky love

My pretty little prairie girl

Rogue males and old lone wolves

Ain't much for self control

They sleep with one foot in your bed

The other headin for the door

Feet get cold and hearts they can freeze

In the dark nights of your soul

But I don't care who disagrees

Falling in love is totally rock n roll

And I say oh, I love you so

And when my flag unfurls

There'll be a heart tattoo with a picture of you

My pretty little prairie girl

In the rains those trains and planes

They took me all around this world

But all that steel and chrome made me think about home

My fingers running through your curls

I say oh, I love you so

And there's one thing I'm sure

I'd crawl a thousand miles just to see that smile

My pretty little prairie girl

And I say oh, I love you so

And it ain't such a dark old world

I see the future rise in the light of your eyes

My pretty little prairie girl
