        G              C
We were burning in a '94 Corolla,
  G                C
3 hours deep into South Dakota.
      G                     C
I was workin' on a lukewarm Coca-Cola
       G            C
In the dog days of July.
       G                   C
And my dad was a Superman stick shift driver,
G                  C
Stay at home Lois Lane beside him,
G                            C
Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs,
    G                 C
As they went blurring by.
    D
And even when he would stop to pull over,
He never took his hand off of her shoulder...

C               G
You can see for miles,
                  Em
You can reach the dials,
             D
Sit back and smile from the front seat.
 C                G
You can chase the sun,
                 Em                D
You can feel the hum of the axles underneath your feet.
C                       G
When you're sitting shotgun,
Em                        D
You're sitting pretty and free.
C                D                 G
But you learn to love from the backseat.

   G                    C
So late one day and I'm rolling along,
       G                 C
With a part time job and blue pom-poms,
     G                       C
Like every day's a knock off Mellencamp song,
         G                C
With his hand right on my knee.
G                   C
We made the age old prom night promise,
G                     C
Put the corsage right where I want it.
    G                       C
And we found a road with nobody on it,
    G                 C
And we didn't stop to think.
    D
And I didn't care when he killed the motor,
Shut off the lights and we climbed over.

C               G
You can see for miles,
                  Em

Up here I see it clear through the rear-view

It's good to take the back seat
