Well I always heard tale of
                             C#

Where old Hillbilly Bill made corn and

So me and my buds finally got the nerve up
Took a little chug-a-lug from a big brown jug
Sweet and so smooth, it took me to the moon

She was leading me around like a love-sick hound
When she came slipping out of that pink prom gown
Lordy I was leaving, dancing on the ceiling
I wish that I could take that feeling and

Chorus

      B                F#
Well first time buzz, first time hook
 D#
First time foot on the throttle rush

Yeah, bottle it up
Load it in the back of my truck
'Cause now I bet you we could take it into town
Pass it all around and folks will never get enough

Good God almighty, it's some mighty mighty
powerful stuff
Sell it by the keg, sell it by the case
Make a couple million bucks
Bottle it up
Said bottle it up
