Intro

Verse
         C
She's a young girl

'Bout eighteen
                             G
Sitting with a fella in the backseat

Got the radio playing

Both of them swaying
                            F
To a song about the golden rain

        C
It's a big moon

And a bright sky
                                   G
Said they wouldn't do it but they just might

Fall in love, better hurry up

Told her daddy she'd be back at midnight

Chorus
 F        C
Down they go
 G                                Am
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow
 F         C
They just row
 G
They don't need a rope

Going with the flow
                                         F
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope

Verse
            C
Clocks are ticking

Dad is pacing
                            G
Back in the bedroom mama's praying

Lord just get her home

Keep her daddy calm
                               F
He knows just what that boy's thinking

       C
Going too fast

Making good time
                               G
They just crossed the Alabama state line

What they're headed for

They're really not sure

But they're gonna say I do before the morning light

Chorus
 F        C
Down they go
 G                                Am
Can't nobody tell them that they oughtta take it slow
 F         C
They just row
 G
They don't need a rope

Going with the flow
                                         F
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope

Hey

Break
 G
Top down side

Sit so high
 F
Close their eyes and take a plunge
 G
Leaving all their innocence they're
 F                   G
Just headstrong, and so damn young

Chorus
 F        C   G
Down they go
            Am
Lord, they oughtta take it slow
     F         C
But they just row
 G
They don't need a rope

Going with the flow
                                         F
Slipping down and sliding on a slippery slope
     C   C   C
Yea aye

G                 G
 A Slippery slope
   F     C    C
Oh oh oh oh
    G
Oh ohh

Outro

Said they wouldn't do it
                            F   F  G    C
But they damn sure fell in love
