Guitar intro

Now let me take you to the movies Magg so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door it waits for Carl I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show
 
I only see her once the week and that's when my work is through
I break new ground the whole week long with my mind set straight on you
I've polished up my ol' horse Becky and she looks good I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show

Now won’t you let me take you to the show so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door it waits for me I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show

Guitar break

Well I break new ground a whole week long with my mind set straight on you
And every time I tried to smile my heartaches breaks in two
O I slicked myself on Saturday night ‘cause there's one thing I know
I’m gonna take my Maggie dear to the Western picture show

Now won’t you let me take you to the show so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door it waits for me I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show
