  D                             Bm               
Sneakin’ out of my house I was just sixteen 
  A                       G               
Met you in the dark down by the creek 
      D                    Bm                   
We’d mess around until we got cold feet 
 A                              G                 
Summers in Kentucky they were hard to beat

Twenty five years later our lives have changed 
 A                                 G               
Meeting girls on the road who are half my age 
  D                                     Bm                 
Sometimes I think about the creek when I’m on stage 
  A                        G                     
Summers in Kentucky, man I miss that place 

 G                            D                    
Used to press your pussy up against my mouth 
 A                                      Bm                      
Now you’ve had a couple kids and it’s all stretched out 
          G                           D                
But I’m starting to think we could figure it out

Summers in Kentucky, wanna be back now

If you ever feel like ditchin’ your man

Grab your kids hit the road with a country band 
       D                    Bm                                                                  
There’s room for all y’all inside of my van 
 A                              G                                                            
We could start our lives all over again

That’s why I think we’d be the perfect fit 
    A         D             G
