Church Parking Lot

D     G    D   G Bm  A

[Verse]

D
A small town revolved around
G
A piece of blacktop holy ground
D
Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights
G
Circled up after Friday night lights

Bm                                
Never learned all the words to the
               G
 verse on the sign outside
Bm                                
But we lived a lot of life between
            G
 painted white lines

[Chorus]

D
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
G
Smoked up my best friend's truck
D                                 
Talking 'bout who we gonna be when
     G       Bm A
 we grow up
D
The same place where she first 
kissed me
G
The same place where we broke up
D                                 
Thinking young love lasts forever,
           G
 but it never does
Bm                 A             
Looking back, I learned more than
     G
 I thought
Bm                    A          
Like how to love and cuss and 
      G
talk to God
                           D
In that church parking lot

[Solo]

Continues after the ad
D G Bm A

[Verse]

   D
The baptizing, the flags flying
 G
The fireworks on the Fourth of July
 D
Pot luck and all the fixings
G
Granny made her famous fried chicken
Bm                                
Sang "Amazing Grace," broke bread,
         G
 and we drank the wine
Bm                           
We lived a lot of life between 
           D
painted white lines


[Chorus]

D
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
G

D                                 
Talking 'bout who we gonna be when
    G       Bm A

D
The same place where she first 
kissed me
G
The same place where we broke up
D                                 
Thinking young love lasts forever,
           G
 but it never does
Bm                 A             
Looking back, I learned more than

Bm                 A

                       D       G
In that church parking lot
                       D
In that church parking lot

[Bridge]

D
I've seen it all, it's been a 
blessing
G
Brand new babies and white dress 
weddings
D
For the troops that didn't make it 
back
G
Black umbrellas and black Cadillacs

[Chorus]

D
Where I had my first sip of whiskey
G
Smoked up my best friend's truck
D                                 
Talking 'bout who we gonna be when
    G       Bm A

   G
talk to God
                       D
And God knows I owe all I got
                   G
To that church parking lot
                     D
Yeah, that church parking lot
