G       C9

G
   Pop works in the shop til eight
    C9
   Mom's on the phone and she's kind
 of irate
G               D                
   Sally's doing sommersaults on 
     C   Cadd9  C  Cmaj7
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   
   He washes his dirty hands in 
          Cadd9  C  Cmaj7
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     
   Me and Sally don't say much of
              C   Cadd9  C  Cmaj7
 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                              
   As though he could figure out 
        D
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                     
   I got my first taste of freedom
 D

                             C     
   beneath the light of the moon
Cadd9  C  Cmaj7


F                  G
   But if it were me
F                G
   I'd have the guts
F              G            C    
   I'd put to test   those bolts 
Cmaj7       Am
       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        
   I wonder if all girls are 
        C      Cadd9  C  Cmaj7
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     
   He just smiles and says, "Your
            C     Cmaj7   Cadd9  C
 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                   
   He got a tear in his eye as he 
  D            C    Cadd9
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
   I'd put to test      those 
    Cmaj7      Am
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
