(C)
I had a hand me down ride painted (F) rattle can red
(C) Second hand tires with (G) poor boy tread
(F) Made a lot of almost (C) love in the bed of that
(G) Truck that got stuck a lot
Just (C) letter jacket boys singing (F) Jerry Jeff songs
(C) Drinking everything we could (G) get our hands on
(F) Learning 'bout right by (C) doin' it wrong
(G) Hopin' we didn't get caught
And we (F) spent what little bit of (C) money we had
On (G) wintergreen Skoal and (Am) main street gas
(F) Go get your girl, (C) go make the drag
If you're (G) lucky you can take her cross the rail road tracks
Where the (F) man in the moon (C) works his magic
On the (G) second runner up of the (Am) 4H pageant
(F) Seems like yester- (C) day even (G) though
That was (F) fourteen hundred and (G) fifty two beers ago (C)
Skipped that town on (F) my birthday
For (C) eighteen years I was (G) headed that way
Where (F) old red stopped (C) I just stayed
In a (G) room without a view
I met a (C) one look girl in a (F) two bit bar
(C) I had a place, (G) she had a car
(F) I won her heart with (C) my guitar
I (G) sang her the homesick blues 'bout
(F) Spendin' what little bit of (C) money we had
On (G) wintergreen Skoal and (Am) main street gas
(F) Go get your girl, (C) go make the drag
If you're (G) lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracks
Where the (F) man in the moon (C) works his magic
On the (G) second runner up of the (Am) 4H pageant
(F) Seems like yester- (C) day even (G) though
That was (F) fifteen hundred and (G) sixty two beers ago
(Am-G-F) x2
(C) Spendin' what little bit of (G) money we had
On (Am) wintergreen Skoal and (F) main street gas
And (C) go get your girl and (G) go make the drag
If you're (F) lucky you can take her cross the railroad tracks
Where the (C) man in the moon (G) works his magic
On the (Am) second runner up of the (F) 4H pageant
(C) Seems like yester- (G) day even (F) though
That was (Am) sixteen hundred and (G) fifty two beers
A (F) whole lot of highway, a whole lot of years
(C) Sixteen hundred and (G) fifty three beers ago (C)
