Capo 1
DTakes a summer time in dGollars at minimum wage
DTo buy some Pittsburgh steel when you come of age
GEven more to get it runnin' and shinin' like you didD  A  
DIt was two tone tar heel blue and white 
DCouple kinwood speakers tuned just right
GCrazy how a car makes a king out of a kidD  A  
It was Bmsun down ready, Ghardtop heavy, Dshotgun girlfriend Aprimed.
Just some Bmteenage no fear, Ghalf bald good years
DThat still turned on a AdimeD  
It was freedom  Bmcallin'   Gpullin' you Adown that backroadD  
It was our time  Bmflyin'   Gand a hell of a Aride in that broncoD  
| Bm| Em| A|
Momma Dstill puts flowers out by your grave
Daddy pulls against Ford in Sunday’s race
And GLeah has a hard time thinkin' she’s older than DyouA  
And me I Dstill see you backin' out in reverse the headlights bright behind your hurse
If GI only could fix things like someone I once Aknew
I wouldn't be Bmsittin' tangled Gmangled full Dof county junk yard Apain
All Bmbusted rusted Gout here cussing Dcrying out your AnameD  
It was freedom  Bmcallin'   Gpullin' you Adown that backroadD  
It was our time  Bmflyin'   Gand a hell of a Aride in that broncoBm
