F C I slipped on her shoe; she was a perfect size seven. Am7 C/G I said, "There's no smoking in the store, ma'am." F She crossed her legs and then We made some small talk; C that's where it should have stopped. Am7 C/G F She slipped me her number; I put it in my pocket. My hand slipped up her skirt; everything C slipped my mind Am7 F In that little roadhouse C On Highway 29.
