G C9

G

Pop works in the shop til eight

C9

Mom's on the phone and she's kind of irate

G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

Sally's doing sommersaults on the lawn

G

Pop slams open the front screen door

C9

Just to scare mom

She says, "What the hell did you do that for?"

G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

He washes his dirty hands in the sink

G

And things around the table are kind of rough

C9

Mom says it's pa

Pa says, "Times are just tough"

G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

Me and Sally don't say much of nothing at all

G

The garage door light brightens up the night

C9

Pa always works on cars when he gets in a fight

G D

As though he could figure out that woman by working on that

C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

old car

G

He said a car can cure any problem at all

C9

Cause seeing all those parts makes a fight look so small

G D

But I wish he'd put me and Sally in the backseat and

C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

drive us away

G

That's when he sits me down he said he's gonna teach me about life

C9

He said, "A man needs a car and a boy needs a bike"

G D

I got my first taste of freedom

C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

beneath the light of the moon

F G

But if it were me

F G

I'd have the guts

F G C Cmaj7 Am

I'd put to test those bolts and nuts

Em Am

And I'd Ride

C D G

Away so fast, so far

G

Put away our tools

We go back inside

C9

Mom feels left out and now she's starting to cry

G D C Cadd9 C Cmaj7

I wonder if all girls are crazy this way

G

I wish pops would just get a spine

C9

I said I know it's little but you can borrow mine

G D C Cmaj7 Cadd9 C

He just smiles and says, "Your mom means well, son"

G

Most times are good it's just some that are lame

C9

But love makes up for those times in beteween

G D C Cadd9

He got a tear in his eye as he took mamma's hand

C Cmaj7 G

said one day I'd understand

F G

But if it were me

F G

I'd have the guts

F G C Cmaj7 Am

I'd put to test those bolts and nuts

Em Am

And I'd Ride

C D Em

Away so fast, so far

Am C D Em

Ride Away so fast so far

Am C D

Ride Away

(end on Em with upward strum)
