From The Backseat

 G              C
We were burning in a '94 Corolla,
  G                C
3 hours deep into South Dakota.
      G                    
I was workin' on a lukewarm 
 C
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                          
Kissing to the rhythm of the 
  C
billboard signs,
    G                 C
As they went blurring by.
    Em
And even when he would stop to pull 
over,
D
He never took his hand off of her 
shoulder...

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              
You can feel the hum of the axles 
  D
underneath your feet.
C                       G
When you're sitting shotgun,
Em                        D
You're sitting pretty and free.
C                D          
But you learn to love from the 
       G
backseat.

So late one day and I'm rolling 
along,
       G                 C
With a part time job and blue 
pom-poms,

     G                      
Like every day's a knock off 
 C
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.
    Em
And I didn't care when he killed the
 motor,
D
Shut off the lights and we climbed 
over.

Up here I see it clear through the

It's good to take the back seat
