Cm G G G
[Verse 1]
Cm GScreen door cracked, there's ball game on
G GMan on a porch singin’ baritone
Cm GTan line leads to that gentle place
G GBetween her collarbone and her stone-cold face
[Break]
Cm G G G
[Verse 2]
Cm GDockhand boys all say goodbye
G GTo the women that they swear are gonna be their wives
Cm GThey'll be gone by the wintertime
G GAnd they don't wanna bother with no friend of mine
[Chorus]
Cm B G GWet, hot, American nights
B CmShake your body dry under coastline light
Cm B G GWet, hot, American nights
B CmSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
B CmSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
[Verse 3]
Cm GHeard David got back from his first tour
G GBut he ain’t the same boy that he was before
Cm GTwenty's too young to nearly die
G GAmerican boys are a friend of mine
[Break]
Cm G G G
[Verse 4]
Cm GDelco Danny cut a deal with the dealer
G GThat he met out at the Rivers Casino
Cm GHe got caught countin' cards, then them spades broke his heart
G GThen the Point Breeze boys broke his nose
Cm GMary got that job that she wanted out of town
G GShe was better than the sum of all of us anyhow
Cm GShe still stops by whenever she can
G GShe's tougher than my brother with her bad left hand
[Chorus]
Cm B G GWet, hot, American nights
B CmShake your body dry under coastline light
Cm B G GWet, hot, American nights
Cm B G GSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
Cm B G GSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
[Break]

[Outro]
Cm GScreen door cracked, there's ball game on
G GMan on a porch singin’ baritone
Cm GTan line leads to that gentle place
G GBetween her collarbone and her stone-cold face
