I gave a girl
a ride in my wag (Asus2)on;
she crawled (A)in
and took con trol.
She was tired;
as her mind was a (A)drag (Asus2)ging,
I said, “Get some sleep and dream of rock and a roll.”
’Cause like a pic ture she was (E)lay ing there,
moon light danc ing (D)off her hair.
She woke up and took me (E)by the hand.
She’s gon na love me in my Chev y van and that’s al right with me.
Her young face
was like of an an (Asus2)gel,
her long (A)legs
were tanned and brown.
Bet ter keep
she your eyes on the (A)road, (Asus2)son.
Bet ter slow I won’t be this ve hi cle a down.
’Cause like a pic ture she was (E)lay ing there,
moon light danc ing (D)off her hair.
She woke up and took me (E)by the hand.
She’s gon na love me in my Chev y van and that’s al right with me.
Her young face
I put her out (E)lay ing there,
moon light danc ing (D)off her hair.
She woke up and took me (E)by the hand.
We made love in my Chev y van and that’s al right with me.
’Cause like a pic ture she was (E)lay ing there,
moon light danc ing (D)off her hair.
She woke up and took me (E)by the hand.
