[Verse 1]
G F C
We were rolling down Beale street

In the Tennessee summer heat

I can't say it's the land of free

Who had a thing for Americans

And all the girls back home will tell you

Some grown ass men acting like boys

There's some Peter Pan shit we're tryna work out

But when Sunday comes around, will you dig us on out?

So we can be in your arms again

Let me be in your arms again
[Chorus]
A# F C
Because I hold you (so high)

Well let me hold you (so tight)
