This is my first, hope it suites. Chords aren't exactly over the words
they fall on, just general area. Chords can be accentuated by
making them 7'ths, even in places i didn't put them.

(Intro)
You know my daddy dug gates for his whole life
And he never knew nothin' more
And his daddy done the dig like his old man
Who dug before the war
And though she couldn't have known til I was born
My poor mother, God rest her soul
(Rest)
Oh, like them I come out diggin'
Well I was laying down wire on Number Nine, now,
When she came down to Earth
And she was talking real loud all about how she
Was gonna save the universe
I went and snuck a little peek in her blue eyes
And words just aren't enough
(Rest)
Oh, she had me off and runnin'
(Yes, she did)
Could it be that I got bored and lonely?
Could it be that I'm just dumb and horny?
(Riff)
Could it be that Lady Luck has smiled herself on me?
(Could it be?)
She wore rattlesnake boots, a sassy mood
She had me laughin' in my tears
The most beautiful thing, so young and sweet
A little green behind the ears
She took me higher than I'd ever been
Lord, what have I been missin'?
(Rest)
Oh, now she is all I'm diggin'
(Yes, she is)
Could it be that I got bored and lonely?
Could it be that I'm just old and horny?
(Could it be now?)
(Riff)
Could it be that Lady Luck has smiled herself on me?
She's smilin' down on me, yeah
Come a little closer
Let me show you how it could be
Spacy little cowgirl
Come a little closer to me
Spacy little cowgirl
(Whoo! Play it)
She's smilin' down on me, yeah
Come a little closer
Let me show you how it could be
Spacy little cowgirl
Come a little closer to me
Spacy little cowgirl
(Mmhmm, yeah
Dig it, dig it, dig it, dig it
Yeah, smilin' down on me
Just dumb and horny)
