Intro: D G (x2)


Verse 

 D                         G  
Look at that worn out rusty engine 
 D                         G  
Sitting there begging for a spark 
                                D  
Don't look like much in that con-dition 
                                 A  
But there was a time you should've seen her run 

 D                          G  
Down every back road in Lyle County 
 D                           G  
Under every streetlight up on Main 
                               D  
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard 
                         A  
Both of us falling like a fickle rain 



 D      C  
We were cooler than December 
 G                         D  
Hotter than July, young and strong 
                  C  
Some things aren't meant to last forever 
         G                                    D  
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Verse 

 D                         C  
She had hair tangled as the kudzu, legs as long as the trails 
    G                                                D  
That cut through those back acres to the river bend  
                                          C  
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair, made people talk 
           G                                       D  
But did not care, try anything once ain't scared of nothing 



 D      C  
We were cooler than December 
 G                         D  
Hotter than July, young and strong 
                  C  
Some things aren't meant to last forever 
         G                                    D  
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Bridge 

 G                         A  
I still ride down those old roads 
                  D  
Even if it's in my mind 
                           Bm  
Tight blue jeans and winding curves 
                    G                         A  
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time ---
