[B-G#-F#-E]
Verse:
I was dyin’ in that small town, dreamed of headin, southbound
[Ab/G#]So I hitched down I-65
Climbed into her trans-am an hour below birmingham
She was h[Ab/G#]eaded home and I was there for the ride
We started taking nonsense, she was laughin at my accent
We w[Ab/G#]ound up on the alabama shore
There was magic in the night air, a gulf breeze in her blonde hair
That’s w[Ab/G#]hat my soul was searchin’ for

Chorus :
Summer moonlight southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool white sand
I was born again in dixieland

Guitar: B-G#-F#-E-F#-G#-B

Verse II
We drank from a mason jar underneath a blanket of stars
I said, [Ab/G#]do you believe this was meant to be
She told me, I believe in front porch swings,
Songs that the crickets sing
And I [Ab/G#]believe you belong down here with me

Repeat chorus:

Bridge :
We watched the twilight fade, there by the ocean waves
And it made me feel at home
I knew I’d found my place, l[C#/Db]ost in her embrace
I was baptized in her arms

Repeat chorus:
Summer moonlight southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool white sand
I was born again
Summer moonlight southern daughter
She led me down to the water
As we lay on that cool white sand
I was born again in dixieland

Verse 1:

We bought an old run down house
We couldnt wait to get the keys
Scraping
Yeah we could do it all
Just you and me

Verse 2:

Oh but the money got tight that winter
It took all we had to get to spring
We had our share of fights
Still I thought you and I could fix anything
Oh anything

Chorus:

Well that roof it still aint leakin
And the rains been comin down
These hardwood floors are quiet
They dont make a sound
And we finally stopped the squeaking
Of the rusty front porch swing
Baby what went wrong
I thought you and me could fix anything

Verse 3:

I watched her tail lights fade away
I sat on the front steps and I cried
Can we say didnt talk
Can we say were better off
Can we say we tried
Can we say we tried

Chorus:

Well that roof it still aint leakin
And the rains been comin down
These hardwood floors are quiet
They dont make a sound
And we finally stopped the squeaking
Of the rusty front porch swing
Baby what went wrong
I thought you and me could fix anything

Bridge:

Weve left too many things undone
Were giving up too soon
We need to finish up the garden
And paint our babys room

Chorus:

Oh that roof it still aint leakin

And the rains sure comin down
These hardwood floors are quiet
They dont make a sound
And we finally stopped the squeaking
Of the rusty front porch swing
Baby what went wrong
I thought you and me could fix anything

Outro:

Id give anything to hold you
On our rusty front porch swing
Oh baby come back home
I think you and me
Can fix anything
