Said, (Bbmaj7)knowin' that he couldn't have the (C)toy till his nuggets were gone.

(D)A green traffic light turned straight to red,

His (Bbmaj7)fries went aflyin' and his (C)orange drink covered his lap.

(D)Well, then my (G)four little old said a (A)fourletter word.

It started with "S" like he and (G)I was concerned.

with I bowed my head and I prayed real hard.

Then this side of bedtime later that night,

I hit in' my brakes son's and Scooby Doo der nightlight,

And I said, "Son,

With (C)tears in my eyes, I wrapped (G)him in a hug.
