Caroline Herring - Learning To Drive
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO:   G    C    Em    D  G  
Pretty girl from a Delta townC  
Made to run the gasoline downEm  
Learned a little 'bout many things
Our Dsweet potato, cotton queenG  
Looks ahead when the whistles blowC  
A lady knows when it's time to goEm  
Learned to drive on the graveyard streets
And Dgive a smile to all she Gmeets
INTERLUDE:   G    C    Em    D  G  
Daddy taught her to never look twice
CSay, 'Thank you ma'am' and always look niceEm  
Be the best like a football teamD  
Scoring against the rivalry, andG  
Keep the insides hammered downC  
Best performer of the stage in town
A Emspeck surrounded by soybean fields
DIn the land of red clay Gwheels
INTERLUDE:   G    C    Em    D  G  
They say she'd tumble over the pews, and
CGo sit with the preacher, tooEm  
Play flute from the choir loft
DSing alto and soprano partsG  
And gaze out at the back church wall
CStained-glass Jesus standing tallEm  
Holding all of his little lambsD  
And the whole world in his Ghands
INSTRUMENTAL:   G    C    Em    D    G(2x)
The boys eyed her through the rear-view mirror
CSucking two straws on Strawberry HillEm  
Coming back from a country bridge
Or Dthrowing rocks from the water's edgeG  
Now she's all packed up in parcelled pillars
She's Cdriving a U-Haul across the Mississippi River
EmLanterns on the levee and a fist full of cottonD  
Old times there will not be forgotGten
OUTRO:   G    C    Em    D    G(3x)

Best performer of the stage in town

A speck surrounded by soybean fields

They say she'd tumble over the pews, and

Go sit with the preacher, too

Play flute from the choir loft

Stained-glass Jesus standing tall

Holding all of his little lambs

And the whole world in his hands
