[Intro]
G D C G D C
[Verse 1]
G
He Said You best be getting on the road
D
And grab your coat it's getting cold
C
You know I am gonna miss you
G
Don't get below quarter tank
D
That gas burns quicker than you think
C
Oh and always check that rear view
Em C G
Watch your speed at the Georgia Line Those bowels will get you every time
D
And it's a hundred dollar fine
(strumming fades)
[Chorus]
G
Drive like the devil when you see an open highway
D C
Let off that pedal when a good view steals your breath away
G
Take a left if it feels right, roll your windows down at night
D
You may get lost but you'll be alright
C G D
There is a bible on the dash and a map tucked in the door
C G
I can't be a back seat driver anymore
[Verse 2]
G D
Here's to hoping you won't need that baseball bat behind the seat
C
But it's there if you ever do
G D
And call home every couple days if only for your mama's sake
C
Hell, she tells all her friends about you
Em C
Now ten and two buckle up I threw a flashlight in the trunk
G D
Next to that spare if you get stuck
[Chorus]
G
Drive like the devil when you see an open highway
D C
Let off that pedal when a good view steals your breath away
G
Take a left if it feels right, roll your windows down at night
D
You may get lost but you'll be alright
C G D
There is a bible on the dash and a map tucked in the door
C G
I can't be a back seat driver anymore
[Outro]
C G
Sometimes when I am lost I can still hear
D C
My Daddy's voice echo loud and clear
(Single strumms for that last bit)
G
Drive like the devil when you see an open highway
D C
Let off that pedal when a good view steals your breath away
G C G
Take a left if it feels right, roll your windows down at night
D D
You may get lost but you'll be alright
C G D
There is a bible on the dash and a map tucked in the door
C C Em
I can't be a back seat driver anymore
(no strumming)
I can't be a back seat driver anymore
