Intro:  C 

                 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 
                                                     C 
We made some small talk; that's where it should have stopped. 
                   Am7    C/G             F 
She slipped me her number; I put it in my pocket. 
                                                    C 
My hand slipped up her skirt; everything slipped my mind 
               Am7        F 
In that little roadhouse 
           C 
On Highway 29. 

It was a small town bank; it was a mess. 
Well, I had a gun.  You know the rest. 
Money on the floorboards, shirt was covered in blood 
And she was cryin'; her and me we headed south 
On Highway 29.
