D             C                           G
Lyin’ in the tall grass, the sun burnin’ down
D                      C                G
With the best lookin’ girl in my home town
D                C                         G
People say I’m crazy, that I’m wastin’ my time
D                 C                      G
But I’m havin’ a ball with that girl of mine
Little darlin’

Chorus:
D
You are
C
The best
G
The best I ever had
D
You are
C
The best
G
The best I’ve ever had

Lying in the tall grass, the sun burning bright
Making love all day, just singing all night
Everything’s ok, it’s gonna be all right
Move a little closer, now hold me tight
Then whisper…

Chorus

I said
D  C G
Hey baby
          D
Yeah the big dog barked and
     C                    G
the little one’s runnin’ high
I said
D     C        G
Hey, hey, hey baby
        D                C              G
Life’s way too short to waste it all inside

Lying in the tall grass, the sun burning down
With the best looking girl in my home town
People say I’m crazy, that I’m wasting my time
But I’m having a ball with this girl of mine
You’re an angel

Chorus

I said, "Hey, baby
Let the big dogs bark and
the little ones run and hide"
Hey I said, "Hey, baby
Life’s way too short to waste it all inside"
So come on now

Chorus

Come on now, yeah, come on now, yep
