GD/F#EmC
[Verse 1]
GD/F#
I remember the summer I turned sixteen,
EmC
And that old jalopy daddy gave to me-
GD/F#
it had holes in the floor and just a 305,
EmC
But I didn't care 'cause I could finally drive
AmEm7C
there wasn't much to do in my hometown,
AmEm7C
So every weekend night, we would all go down...
[Chrous]
G
there were freaks and hippies in my high school,
D/F#
Football players all tyrin' to be cool-
Em
And everybody scramblin' to hide their beer,
C
When the cops drove by 'til the coast was clear-
GD
kids fallin' in and out of love,
D/F#
On the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks
AmEm7C
we were stumblin' our way Through life 'til our senior year,
AmEm7D/F#
but man we sure did learn a lot,
GD/F#
In that wal-mart parking lot.
[Verse 2]
GD/F#
She had long blonde hair and sea-green eyes,
EmC
The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life-
GD/F#
But I was young and dumb and didn't have a line,
EmC
And all I could say was, "Can I call ya' sometime?"
AmEm7C
she just said no and walked away,
AmEm7D/F#
And that was the first time I felt my heart break-
[Chrous]
G
there were freaks and hippies in my high school,
D/F#
Football players all tyrin' to be cool-
Em
And everybody scramblin' to hide their beer,
C
When the cops drove by 'til the coast was clear-
GD
kids fallin' in and out of love,
D/F#
On the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks
AmEm7C
we were stumblin' our way Through life 'til our senior year,
AmEm7D/F#
but man we sure did learn a lot,
GD/F#
In that wal-mart parking lot.
[Bridge]
AmEm7CED/F#
Yeah we all did alot of livin,
AmEm7CED/F#
It was small town teenage heaven.

[Verse 3]
G
well I had my first kiss, my first love,
D/F#
Got my ass kicked but I got back up-
EmCGD/F#
lost my way, found it again,
GD/F#
Had one long buzz and a dozen best friends-
EmCGD/F#Em7C
in the wal-mart parking lot, in that wal-mart parking lot
