[Opening]
[C] [C7] [Am] [F]
[C]Just a slow [C7]down small town, [Am]just a deep south [F]home crowd
[C]With nothing to do and [C7]nothing to lose, the [Am]same old paper and [F]same old news
We’d [C]ride around 10:30 [C7]on a Friday, we’d hurry to a [Am]parking lot With all our [F]friends
Turning up the [C]heat [C7]when, we finally made it to the [Am]weekend [F]

[chorus]
We put the [C]gas to the [G]floor Yeah, we hit it wide open
[Am]Two-lane highway [F]rolling, with no [C]one around, slowing us [G]down
Radio loud, had the [Am]speakers all blowing [F]Dials wide open
[C]Feet on the dash with her [G]hand out the window, [Am]smiling a look in [F]her eye letting me know
[C]She didn’t care [G]where we were going, [Am]as long as we [F]were going, wide [C] [C7]open [Am] [F]

[Closing]
[C]She was made [C7]for the fast lane, [Am]she was more than just a [F]pretty face
[C]First time lover, we [C7]spent that summer, doing [Am]nothing but [F]getting away
