Verse 1:
Cmaj7
  Yeah, you used to talk about
Cmaj7
  Getting even further South
Fmaj7
  Somewhere where the summer lasted all year 'round
               Cmaj7
Probably got a big ol' diamond on your hand right now
Cmaj7
Maybe a baby or a couple by now
Fmaj7
Long driveway to a big white house
 
Chorus:
      Dm7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
G
  Find yourself thinking about
Cmaj7                      Am7
  That boy from East Tennessee
      Dm7
And I know we both knew better
      G
But we still said forever
       Cmaj7
And that was seven summers
   Am7
Of Coke and Southern Comfort
       Dm7                          G
Were we dumb or just younger, who knows?
               Cmaj7
Back then, you used to love the river
    Am7                       Dm7
And sippin' on a sixer with me
 
Does it ever make you sad to know
G
That was seven summers ago?
 
Post-Chorus:
Cmaj7             Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
 
Verse 2:
Cmaj7
  Yeah, I bet your daddy's so proud
Cmaj7
  Of how his little girl turned out
Fmaj7
  Think she dodged a bullet
     Fmaj7
Of a good old boy like me
               Cmaj7
'Cause I still,  go drinkin', same friends on Friday
Cmaj7
Bought a few acres, couple roads off the highway
Fmaj7
Guess you never saw things my way anyway
 
Chorus:
      Dm7
But I wonder when you're drinking if you
G
  Find yourself thinking about
