Verse 1:
E D A
I bought her right before I turned sixteen
E D A
Dark blue paint, had that metallic gleam
E D
350 underneath the hood
A
She roared like hell and it felt so good
E D A
Burnin' down them county roads with the windows low
B
Crankin' Skynyrd on the radio
A
She was freedom wrapped in steel and chrome
B A
That old Z/28 felt just like home
Chorus:
E D A
We were flyin’ down backroads, chasing the night
E D A
Pretty blonde in the seat with her hand in mine
E D A
The T-tops off and the stars above
E D A
Fallin' fast into that first-time love
B
Smokin' tires, breakin' rules
A
Actin' too tough in that high school cool
B
Man, if those headlights could talk, they’d say
A
We were young, wild, and wide open in that Z/28
Verse 2:
E D A
She had them blue eyes and a rebel heart
E D A
Liked her whiskey strong and her music up
E D A
We’d sneak out late, park underneath the stars
E D A
Trade stories, kisses, and dreams out loud
B
Pedal down and she’d look at me
A
Yellin’, “Baby, punch it, let that V8 scream”
B
Every mile was a brand new page
A
Writin’ our love story in that Z/28
Chorus:
E D A
We were flyin’ down backroads, chasing the night
E D A
Pretty blonde in the seat with her hand in mine
E D A
The T-tops off and the stars above
E D A
Fallin' fast into that first-time love
B
Smokin' tires, breakin' rules
A
Actin' too tough in that high school cool
B
Man, if those headlights could talk, they’d say
A
We were young, wild, and wide open in that Z/28
SOLO:
E D A
Bridge:
E D A
Years flew by, but that car still gleams
E D A
Sittin’ in the drive like it’s caught in a dream
E D A
And every time I hear that engine start
E D A
It takes me right back to where I left my heart
Chorus:
E D A
We were flyin’ down backroads, chasing the night
E D A
Pretty blonde in the seat with her hand in mine
E D A
The T-tops off and the stars above
E D A
Fallin' fast into that first-time love
B
Smokin' tires, breakin' rules
A
Actin' too tough in that high school cool
B
Man, if those headlights could talk, they’d say
A
We were young, wild, and wide open in that Z/28
