Bm D G D
[Verse 1]
Bm DScreen door cracked, there's ball game on
G DMan on a porch singin’ baritone
Bm DTan line leads to that gentle place
G DBetween her collarbone and her stone-cold face
[Break]
Bm D G D
[Verse 2]
Bm DDockhand boys all say goodbye
G DTo the women that they swear are gonna be their wives
Bm DThey'll be gone by the wintertime
G DAnd they don't wanna bother with no friend of mine
[Chorus]
Bm A G DWet, hot, American nights
A BmShake your body dry under coastline light
Bm A G DWet, hot, American nights
A BmSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
A BmSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
[Verse 3]
Bm DHeard David got back from his first tour
G DBut he ain’t the same boy that he was before
Bm DTwenty's too young to nearly die
G DAmerican boys are a friend of mine
[Break]
Bm D G D
[Verse 4]
Bm DDelco Danny cut a deal with the dealer
G DThat he met out at the Rivers Casino
Bm DHe got caught countin' cards, then them spades broke his heart
G DThen the Point Breeze boys broke his nose
Bm DMary got that job that she wanted out of town
G DShe was better than the sum of all of us anyhow
Bm DShe still stops by whenever she can
G DShe's tougher than my brother with her bad left hand
[Chorus]
Bm A G DWet, hot, American nights
A BmShake your body dry under coastline light
Bm A G DWet, hot, American nights
Bm A G DSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
Bm A G DSnuck our Fords to the shore and drank a bottle bone-dry
[Break]

[Outro]
Bm DScreen door cracked, there's ball game on
G DMan on a porch singin’ baritone
Bm DTan line leads to that gentle place
G DBetween her collarbone and her stone-cold face
