Intro:  A D  A D   A   G A D    A D  A D   A   G A D 
 
                     G         D 
Since I was nine, I spent my time 
            A          D 
Outback in daddy's garage 
                             G        D 
Checkin' points and plugs, tires and lugs 
                     A         D 
Or learnin' 'bout a big block Dodge 
                          G         D 
Get her all tuned up for Saturday night 
                 A     D 
A coat of candy apple red 
                                 G         D 
Lord, it's gonna be tough, it's gonna be tight 
                A      D 
That's what my daddy said 
 
--Chorus 
 
       G  n.c.          C        G 
Drive fast, turn left, head for home 
      D                  A 
I'll tell what I'm gonna do 
           D 
I'm gonna paint your name in purple 
        G           D 
On the side of the door 
                       A        D 
And drive around and 'round for you 
 
--Break->  A D  A D   A   G A D    A D  A D   A   G A D 
 
                            G      D 
You're a race track queen, mean machine 
             A       D 
Green light ready to go 
                                    G      D 
And you're the prettiest thing I've ever seen 
              A        D 
Blue ribbon, best of show 
                                     G          D 
I wanna ride around with ya for the rest of my life 
                 A      D 
Honey, don't you be no drag 
                           G           D 
One of these days I wanna make you my wife 
            A             D 
Givin' you the checkered flag 
 
--Repeat Chorus 
 
--Break->  A D  A D   A   G A D    A D  A D   A   G A D 
 
--Repeat Chorus 
 
                               G         D 
Drive around and around and around and around 
                  A        D 
And around and around for you 
 
--Outro:  A D  A D   A   G A D    A D  A D   A   G A  D
