Well, she was standing by the highway
    G            D
In her boots and silver spurs
   D
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
    G             D
When a Cadillac stopped for her

       D        Am
Well, she was over twenty-one
  G           D
In trouble with the law
    D           Am
And it didn't faze her none
  G             D
She called her mother-in-law
      D          Am
And said I need a little money
 G              D
I knew I could count on you
D              Am
After that night in Vegas
    G              D
And the hell that we went through
