  			G 
I got dust on my tennis shoes 
C 	  	  	 G 
Couple empty bottles of beer 
 	  	    D 
They were called Modelo 
 	  	   C 
They were made in Mexico 
 	  	    G 
They were pretty good 

I got a jar full of pennies 
Nickels, quarters, and dimes 
I gave the orders 
Don’t you take my quarters 
She gets them every time 

 	   C 
She’s my lady 
 	  	   G 
And we fight sometimes 
 	  	   D 
Drive each other crazy 
 	  	   C 	  	 G 
Plumb out of our freaking minds 
 	 C 
At the end of the day 
 	   G 	  	  Em 
It don’t matter what you say 
 	    D 	  	  	   G 
She’ll be standing right by my side 

I stayed out late last night at a friend’s garage 
Until 2:00am 
We were listening to the stones 
Smoking a couple bowls 
Taking it all in 

I only told her I’d be gone a little while 
Said baby don’t you worry none 
She was mad as hell 
I came in and fell 
Right back in love 

I got dust on my tennis shoes 
Couple empty bottles of beer 
They were called Modelo 
They were made in Mexico 
They were pretty good
