G Em C HAD A '69 IMPALA BOUGHT IT FROM MY DAD G Em C GAVE HIM 3OO DOLLARS HE GAVE ME ALL IT HAD G Em C AFTER ALL THAT OLD CAR WENT THROUGH G D C YOU'D THINK ID STILL HAVE YOU
IT ALWAYS BROUGHT US HOME ALRIGHT IT KNEW EVERY CURVE IN THE ROAD GAVE US SHELTER FROM THE NIGHT WHEN WE HAD NO GAS TO GO WE ALWAYS FOUND PLENTY TO DO WHEN YOU LOVED ME AND I LOVED YOU
CHORUS: Em THE OTHER DAY I SEEN THAT CAR C IN A HEAP OF RUST BY THE OLD MANS BARN G D I HADN'T THOUGHT OF IT IN YEARS Em BUT YOU STILL CROSS MY MIND C AND ALL WE LEFT BEHIND G D C WHEN WE WERE LEAVIN SOUVENIRS
NOW THE CAR WONT START AND I HAD TO PRY THE DOOR AMONG THE SALVAGE PARTS UP ON THE DASH BOARD THERE WAS A RED RIBBON FROM YOUR HAIR AND I REMEMBER THE NIGHT THAT YOU PUT IT THERE
