Intro: D G Bm A
Verse 1:
D
She was leanin’ on a rail in a cotton dress,
G
summer tanned pretty little perfect mess
Bm A
With a story that could only be anybody’s guess
D
And I was thinkin’ that I probably didn’t stand a chance,
G
but I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said
Bm A G A
Hey no, I don’t know you, but I’d kinda like a shot
Bm
She said, I saw you comin’ over,
A G A
I already thought it over and ok, so now what
Chorus:
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said,
G
there’s something at least it’s a start,
I said it’s better than nothing
Bm A
I ain’t in no hurry but I’m ready when you are
D
And she said, where do you think all this is goin’,
G
I said, there ain’t no way of knowin’
Bm A G
I guess I hadn’t thought it through that far,
A D
but I got a car
Verse 2:
D
So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down,
G
we let ourselves go all the way through town
Bm A
She never said stop and I never asked her why
D
We drove into the night, when outta nowhere, she said,
G
I’d give anything to never go back there
Bm A G A
And I kinda wish this day would never end
Bm
She said, I could use a change
A G A
but I don’t even know where to begin
Chorus:
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said,
G
there’s something at least it’s a start,
I said, it’s better than nothing
Bm A
I ain’t in no hurry but I’m ready when you are
D
And she said, where do you think all this is goin’,
G
I said, there ain’t no way of knowin’
Bm A G A
I really hadn’t thought it through that far
Dm A G
And I can’t promise you the moon and stars,
A
but I got a car
A D A D A D
Bridge:
G
We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days,
D
’til we finally found a stoppin’ place
Bm A G
When the doctor’s said, you know what’s on the way?
And we found ourselves in a little white house,
D
one Sunday morning, rain pourin’ down
Bm A
She said, I think it’s time
G A
but all the lines are out
Bm A
And her eyes teared up and she said,
G A
what are we gonna do now?
Chorus:
D
And I said, well I got a car, she said,
G
there’s something, you think it’ll start,
I said, it’s already runninf
Bm A
Got your things in the back and I’m ready when you are
D
She said, are you sure it’ll get us where we’re goin’?
G
I said, if there’s one thing I know girl
Bm A G A
It’s gotten us this far
Bm A G
And I don’t mean to hurry but I’m ready when you are
