[Intro]
G D C G D C
[Verse 1]
He Said GYou best be getting on the road
And grab your coat it's getting cold D  
CYou know I am gonna miss you
GDon't get below quarter tank
That gas burns quicker than you thinkD  
COh and always check that rear view
 EmWatch your speed at the Georgia Line CThose bowels will get you every time G  
And it's a hundred dollar fineD  
(strumming fades)
[Chorus]
GDrive like the devil when you see an open highway
DLet off that pedal when a good view steals your breath awayC  
Take a left if it feels right, roll your windows down at niGght
You may get lost but you'll be alDright
There is Ca bible on the dash Gand a map tucked in the doorD  
I can't Cbe a back seat driver anymore G  
[Verse 2]
  GHere's to hoping you won't need that baseball bat behind the seatD  
CBut it's there if you ever do
GAnd call home every couple days if only for your mama's Dsake
Hell, she tells alCl her friends about you
Now Emten and two buckle up CI threw a flashlight in the trunk
GNext to that spare if you get stuckD  
[Chorus]
GDrive like the devil when you see an open highway
DLet off that pedal when a good view steals your breath awayC  
Take a left if it feels right, roll your windows down at niGght
You may get lost but you'll be alDright
There is Ca bible on the dash Gand a map tucked in the doDor
I can't Cbe a back seat driver anymore G  
[Outro]
  CSometimes when I am lost GI can still hear
DMy Daddy's voice echo loud Cand clear
(Single strumms for that last bit)
GDrive like the devil when you see an open highway
DLet off that pedal when a good view steals your breath awayC  
Take a left if it feels right, Groll your Cwindows down at Gnight
You may get lDost but you'll be alDright

I can't Cbe a back seCat driver anymore Em  
(no strumming)
I can't be a back seat driver anymore
