Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Well a [C]country boy named Shorty
and [F]a city boy named Dan
Had to [C]prove who could run the fastest
to [D]win Miss Lucy's [G]hand
Now [C]Dan had all the money
and he [F]also had the looks
But [C]Shorty must've had somethin'
boys that [G]can't be found in [C]books
Well [F]cut across Shorty Shorty cut
across that's [C]what Miss Lucy said
Cut across [F]Shorty Shorty cut across
it's [G]you I want to wed
[C]

[Verse 2]
Now Dan with his long legs
flyin' left [F]Shorty far behind
But [C]Shorty could hear him holler
Miss [D]Lucy you'll still be [G]mine
But [C]Shorty wasn't bit worried
with a [F]smile upon his face
He [C]knew that he was gonna win cause
Miss [G]Lucy had fixed the [C]race
Well cut [F]across[C][F]

[Verse 3]
Now [C]Dan had been a training
mhm [F]weeks before the race
And [C]he was sure that little Shorty
would end [D]up in second place
[G]But jus[C]t like that old story about
[F]the turtle and the hare
When [C]Dan crossed the finish line he
[G]found Shorty waitin' [C]there
Well cut [F]across Shorty
