Sign on the porch says “three’s a crowd

Her and her boyfriend went to California,
Her and her boyfriend done changed their tune.
My best friend said, "Now didn' I warn ya,
Brighton girls are like the moon,
Brighton girls are like the moon."

Chorus:
D            C#m           B
Looks like a-nothing but rain.
F#            A#m   D#m       B    G#m
Sure gonna be wet tonight on Main Street...
D#m           C#
Hope that it don't sleet.

Build me a cabin in Utah,
Marry me a wife, catch rainbow trout,
Have a bunch of kids who call me "Pa,"
That must be what it's all about,
That must be what it's all about.
