E A E A
I saw you sittin there sippin red wine down at Cozumel's
E A E A
I knew you'd probably be out of my league but I thought what the hell, Aw, what the hell
E A
Five dollars a glass was kickin my butt but I kept on buying
E A Asus4 A
I kinda thought you were into me so I kept on tryin to get them sparks a flyin
E A E A
In my $40 blue jeans next to a beauty queen, used to the finer things
E A E A
All I had to my name was a big ol truck and a little old place, I couldn't help but think
F#m A
I can't afford to love you
E A E A
But I cant afford not to
I asked you if you'd ever stared up at the stars from a tailgate
Down by the river with a 6-pack, you said 'no, but sure sounds great'
You climbed up in my ol truck, sittin right beside me
I cranked up a country song and you started smilin, yah this ol boy was stylin
In $40 blue jeans next to a beauty queen, used to the finer things
I missed work for 3 days, kissin on you, didn't get paid, I couldn't help but think
I cant afford to love you
But I cant afford not to
Bridge:
B A
We've been together ever since that night
B A
You're stil in love with that same ol guy
A
That same ol guy
A
Woo guy
Chorus 3:
In my $40 blue jeans next to a beauty queen used to the finer things
Yeah we set a date for next spring,Working two jobs, pickin out rings, I cant help but think
I cant afford to love you, I can't afford to love you
But I cant afford not to
repeat
