The last day of June

I told Billy Ray

I was just walking by

She was thirty-one, and I was seventeen,

I knew nothing about love, she knew everything.

The front of her gown

I thought it would melt her
F#m7
She threw back her hair
Eadd9
Like I wasn't there,
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
She sipped on a Julep
F#m7
Her shoulders were bare,
Eadd9
And I tried not to stare,
B7 B7sus2 B7 – B7sus2
When I looked at her two lips
Dmaj7 Bm
And when she looked at me, I heard her softly say,
C#m7 F#m
'I know you're young, you don't know what to do or say.
