It was the F hottest day of August
All of Bb of us were down by the banks of the Paint Rock F River
I was next in line to be baptised at the innocent age of ten C7
And I ll F never forget, I remember it yet
The Bb taste of that clear, pure F water
And that preacher s words still fill my head and I C7 hear them now
and F then
He said, Do you..
Wanna Bb go to F heaven
And I Bb said {F} Yeah, C7 just lead me F on .
Take my hand, can you Bb feel that F feelin
And Bb I said, F Yes C just lead me on F
It was the hottest day of summer
And our final high school dance was just about over
I was old enough for the taste of love when boys turn into men
And I ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure
water
But the preacher s words I barely heard, as sweet Bonnie Lou gave in
She said, Do you...
Chorus:
It was a lonely night in August
She was sittin at the end of the bar when I saw her
And with a little wine and an little time she would be a prize to win
Now I ll never forget, I remember it yet, the taste of that clear, pure
water
But that preacher s words could not be heard, when she whispered, Come
on in
She said, Do you...
Chorus:
