A A I looked up, there she stood, I said, A A â??If you didnâ??t look so great, Iâ??d say you look good.â? E A E A She took her hand, ran it up my thigh, D E And said, â??Cowboy, you ready for the wild ride?â?A A Layinâ?? on the highway, I saw my mind A A In tiny little pieces thrown from side to side. E A E A My heart was shattered, along with my pride D E Guess you canâ??t keep â??em on the wild rideA Come on now, Junior, take the wild ride A See, can you make it on the wild ride E Donâ??t try no shakinâ?? on the wild ride A A `Cause things start breakinâ?? on the wild rideChorus Solo: / A / A / E / A / x2 Then: / A / A A I was crawlinâ?? cross the floor, I tried to leave, when I A A Felt something tugginâ?? what was left of my sleeve E A E A I heard a little voice with a gold-plated vibe D E Sayinâ??
