D G
everything just looks so small
D G
before the drums and the guitars
A
way back when we knew it all
Em ( strum once )

G ( strum once )
in that old white cherokee i grew up in

can you believe it?
how much everything has changed?
well they shut down the old diner
and they put in some new chain
you know it’’s so good to see you
ma , your hair had got so long
it feels like it’s been forever
used to sing you that old song
with you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind
in that old white cherokee i grew up in
yeah , it’s crazy
crazy cause it’s true

that you never get a second chance at the first time
we will never be eighteen again

Em G
well you know they say that growing up is hard
D A
it’s so hard to think of how we almost got so far
Em G
do you remember on the night of our first kiss?
D A
baby didnt it feel just a little bit like this?
Em ( strum once )
with you sitting right next to me your hand in the wind

in that old white cherokee i grew up in
