[F]road to alcohol. And [|][G7]I was just a

Well she [|][C]pressed her chest against me,
About the [|][F]time the jukebox broke.
Yeah, she [|][G7]gave me a peck on the back of 
the neck, And [|][G7]these are the words she [C][\]spoke.

[C]..Well, I [|][C]sat there at the table, and I [|]
[F]acted real naive. For I [|][G7]knew that topless 
lady, had [|][G7]something up her s[C]leeve.
Well, she [|][C]danced around the bar room, and she [|]
[F]did the hoochy-coo. Yeah [|][G7]she sang her 
song all night long, [|][G7]tellin' me what to [C][\]do.

[C]..Well, [|][C]I was young and hungry, and [|]
[F]about to leave that place. When [|][G7]just 
as I was leavin', well she [|][G7]looked me in the [C]face.
I said [|]"[C]You must know the answer".  She said [|]
[F]”No but I'll give it a try". And to [|][G7]this very day, 
we've been livin' our way. 
And [|][G7]here is the reason [C][\]why.
