[Opening]
Ridin’ along in my automo[G]bile, my baby beside me at the wheel.
I stole a kiss at the turn of a [C]mile,
my curiosity runnin’ [G]wild.
Cruisin’ and playin’ the radi[D]o.. with no particular place to [G]go.
[verse 2]
Ridin’ along in my automo[G]bile, I was anxious to tell her the way I feel.
So, I told her softly and sin[C]cere,
and she leaned and whispered in my [G]ear.
Cuddlin’ more and drivin’ [D]slow.. with no particular place to [G]go.
[verse 3]
No particular place to [G]go, so we parked way out on the Kokomo.
The night was young and the moon was [C]gold.
So, we both decided to take a [G]stroll.
Can you imagine the way I [D]felt? I couldn’t unfasten her safety [G]belt.
[Closing]
Ridin’ along in my cala[G]boose..still tryin’ to get her belt unloose.
All the way home I held a [C]grudge..
but the safety belt just wouldn’t [G]budge.
Cruisin’ and playin’ the radi[D]o, with no particular place to [G]go.
