Verse 1
[C]
My AC quit at noon
[C]
The sun burned through the glass
[C]
That engine gave up way too soon
[C]
With fire on my back at last
[C]
Cornfields rolled on by
[C]
Like they knew my luck was gone
[C]
Under that July sky
[C]
I prayed that truck held on
Pre-Chorus
[G] [Ab]
Red clay on my boots
[G] [Ab]
Dust driftin' through the air
[C] [Bb]
Heat runnin' through my roots
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Then I saw you standin' there
Chorus
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, you got my name
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Like a match to a flame
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, blue eyes burn
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Now you're all I can blame

Verse 2
[C]
Cutoff jeans, sunkissed skin
[C]
Shirt tied high and tight
[C]
Cowboy hat, that crooked grin
[C]
Made the whole world light
[C]
Boot heels crossin' slow
[C]
Leanin' on pump number three
[C]
The way you looked me up and down
[C]
Made it hard to breathe
Pre-Chorus
[G] [Ab]
Ice machine hummed low
[G] [Ab]
But it couldn't cool this flame
[C] [Bb]
You bit your lip and smiled
[G] [Eb] [C]
Before I knew your name
Chorus
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, you got my name
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Like a match to a flame
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, blue eyes burn
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Now you're all I can blame

[Breakdown]
[C] N.C.
One cold Coke in hand
Your fingers brushed mine
You smiled, "You passin' through?"
I said, "If you've got the time."
[C] [Bb]
You laughed and tipped your hat
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Like you knew I'd be back
[C] [Bb]
One little step between us
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
There was no lookin' back
Chorus
[C] N.C. [Bb]
Hot damn, you got my name
N.C. [G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Like a match to a flame
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, blue eyes burn
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Now you're all I can blame
Chorus
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, you got my name
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Like a match to a flame
[C] [Bb]
Hot damn, blue eyes burn
[G] [F] [Eb] [C]
Now you're all I can blame
Outro
[C]
That AC's still dead
[C]
But I don't mind the heat
[G]
'Cause every time those blue eyes burn
[C]
They knock me off my feet
