[Verse]
        D                C#m Bm             A
She was sittin' on a car lot looking like a dream
G            A                D
Underneath a string of lights
  D       C#m    Bm            A
A 49 mod- el and I was sixteen
      G                A              D
But I knew it was love at first sight

        Bm                  A
And the man said, son, I'll make you a deal
      G             D             A
And I knew I had to make her mine
  D              C#m          Bm             A
I held my breath and slid be- hind the wheel
G              A            D
It was my ver- y first time

[Chorus]
D     A    G                 D
Cars, just motors and wheels
G                A         D
Rubber and glass and steel
       G            D A              Bm
Still, I think back over the years
    G                  D         A
And it sounds strange, I suppose
         G          A           D
But it's cars I re- member most

[Verse]
        D                    C#m          Bm             A
She was parked on the street by the First Baptist Church
      G                  A            D
As we ran down the steps hand in hand
   D               C#m       Bm                 A
My brand new Chev- y waiting there at the curve
       G                  A          D
And we waved to the crowd and got in

          Bm                A
Well, the miles went by and so did the years
      G                    D             A
And I thought that we were doing alright
         D                  C#m Bm                 A
Till she packed up the kids and picked up the keys
    G               A         D
And just drove away one night 


[Solo]

[Chorus]
          D                  C#m   Bm                   A
Well, the years have gone by and a lot of thing changed
  G                   A        D
I hardly see the kids any more
D              C#m       Bm    A
Took a new job and moved to A 
    G                A               D
And bought me a two- -seater Porsche

        Bm                            A
There's lots of pretty girls out here and you know
G                D       A
I could be doing alright
    D               C#m    Bm                A
But mostly at night I just drive up the cost
    G                A         D
And look at the cit- -y lights
