VERSE:
G Cadd9
My mama gave me my first car when I was 16
G Cadd9
I still got it man I couldn’t ever part with that thing
G Cadd9
It might look like it’s just an old car to you
G Cadd9
But I can tell you now there’s a lot more it can do
PRE-CHORUS
D Cadd9
It used to take me and my buddies for a ride
D
The way I’m missing them I’ll just get in it
Cadd9 D
And it takes me back in time
CHORUS:
Cadd9
And I see mom sitting there in the seats
G
Laughing out loud and looking at me
Cadd9
If I listen close I hear their voices
G D
Singing through my engine noise
Cadd9
They’re way to loud, a little off key
G
But to hear it now it sounds good to me
Em D Cadd9
I didn’t know it back then but it seems
Em D
We were riding around with the windows down
Cadd9
The bass to loud
D G
In a real life time machine

VERSE:
G Cadd9
Well that car tried its best to make me look cool
G Cadd9
In front of a girl I loved in high school
G Cadd9
I got my first kiss parked and did by the football field
G Cadd9
I still feel her lips on mine anytime I touch the wheel
PRE-CHORUS:
D Cadd9
It took our butts to prom on senior year
D
I still see her face and her make-up
Cadd9 D
Over in that old damn mirror
CHORUS:
Cadd9
And I see her sitting there in the passenger seat
G
Her pretty eyes looking back at me
Cadd9
If I listen close I hear her voice
G D
Singing through my engine noise
Cadd9
And way too loud to Bobby McGee
G
I can hear her now harmonizing with me
Em D Cadd9
I didn’t know it back then, but it seems
Em D
We were riding around with the windows down
Cadd9
The bass to loud
D Cadd9
In a real life time machine
BREAK:
Em D Cadd9 Cadd9
Well we grew up and we moved on with our lives
Em D
But it’s still nice to go back in time
Cadd9 D
When I take a drive
VERSE:
Cadd9
And I see ma sitting there in the seats
G
Laughing out loud, looking at me
Cadd9
If I listen close I hear their voices
G D
Singing through my engine noise
CHORUS:
Cadd9
A way too loud, a little off key
G
But to hear it now it sounds pretty damn sweet
Em D Cadd9
I didn’t know it back then but it seems
Em D
We were riding around with the windows down
Cadd9 Cadd9
The bass too loud
Em D
In this seat mama gave to me
Cadd9
I never dreamed
D Cadd9
That it ever be a time machine
