G C9
G
Pop works in the shop til eight
Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate
G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn
GPop slams open the front screen door
Just to scare mom
She says, "What the hell did you do that for?"
He washes his dirty hands in the sink
GAnd things around the table are kind of rough
C9Mom says it's pa
Pa says, "Times are just tough"
G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7Me and Sally don't say much of nothing at all
The garage door light brightens up the night
C9Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight
G DAs though he could figure out that woman by working on that
old car
GHe said a car can cure any problem at all
C9Cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small
But I wish he'd put me and Sally in the backseat and
C Cadd9 C Cmaj7drive us away
GThat's when he sits me down he said he's gonna teach me about life
He said, "A man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"
G DI got my first taste of freedom
C Cadd9 C Cmaj7beneath the light of the moon
F G
But if it were me
I'd have the guts
F G C Cmaj7 AmI'd put to test those bolts and nuts
Em AmAnd I'd Ride
Away so fast, so far
Put away our tools
We go back inside
Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry
G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7I wonder if all girls are crazy this way
GI wish pops would just get a spine
I said I know it's little but you can borrow mine
G D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 CHe just smiles and says, "Your mom means well, son"
GMost times are good it's just some that are lame
But love makes up for those times in beteween
G D C Cadd9He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand
C Cmaj7 Gsaid one day I'd understand
F G
But if it were me
I'd have the guts
F G C Cmaj7 AmI'd put to test those bolts and nuts
Em AmAnd I'd Ride
Away so fast, so far
Am C D EmRide Away so fast so far
Am C DRide Away
(end on Em with upward strum)
