[Intro]  x 2
|   D|   G|
[Verse]
LDook at that worn out rusty Gengine
SDitting there begging for a Gspark
Don't look like much in that conD-dition
But there was a time you should'vAe seen her run
DDown every back road in Lyle GCounty
UDnder every streetlight up on GMain
You sitting there drumming on a Ddashboard
Both of us falling like a Afickle rain
[Chorus]
WDe were Ccooler than December
HGotter than July, young and Dstrong
Some things aren't Cmeant to last forever
But that Gdon't mean you forget 'em when they'rDe gone
[Solo]
So come on 
|   D|   C|   G|   D|
[Verse]
SDhe had hair tangled as the Ckudzu, legs as long as the trails
That Gcut through those back acres to the river bend D  
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's Cflair, made people talk
But did not Gcare, try anything once ain't scared of Dnothing
[Chorus]
WDe were Ccooler than December
HGotter than July, young and Dstrong
Some things aren't Cmeant to last forever
But that Gdon't mean you forget 'em when they'rDe gone
[Solo]
So come on, 
|   D  
come on,  
|   C|  G  
don't mean you forget 'em 
|   D|
[Bridge]
I Gstill ride down those old Aroads
Even if it's in my Dmind
Tight blue jeans and windinBmg curves
Keep me turning on a Gdime, yeah, just like the Atime ---
WDe were Ccooler than December
HGotter than July, young and Dstrong
Some things aren't Cmeant to last forever
But that Gdon't mean you forget 'em when they'rD7/Ce gone
WDe were Ccooler than December
HGotter than July, young and Dstrong
Some things aren't Cmeant to last forever
But that Gdon't mean you forget 'em when they'rDe gone
[Tag]
DCon't mean you foGrget 'em when they're Dgone
So come on, Gcome on
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're Dgone
So Dcome on, come on G  
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're Dgone
So come on, Gcome on, Dso come on, come on
