[G] [Gm] Actually I went down to Georgia to [G] visit a friend that didn't want me to a party at one of his friends house.
It was a hot Georgia day, 90 degrees, 90 degrees in humidity.
And so I found myself in the shade of a poplar.
She enjoyed a beverage of some kind.
When I looked across the yard and I saw this girl sitting there in a long chair.
And all I could think of myself right then is, oh my god, that girl.
