[Intro]  x 2

| D  | G  |


[Verse]

 D                         G
Look at that worn out rusty engine
 D                         G
Sitting there begging for a spark
                                D
Don't look like much in that con-dition
                                 A
But there was a time you should've seen her run

 D                          G
Down every back road in Lyle County
 D                           G
Under every streetlight up on Main
                               D
You sitting there drumming on a dashboard
                         A
Both of us falling like a fickle rain


[Chorus]

 D      C
We were cooler than December
 G                         D
Hotter than July, young and strong
                  C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
         G                                    D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone


[Solo]

So come on
| D  | C  | G  | D  |


[Verse]

 D                         C
She had hair tangled as the kudzu, legs as long as the trails
    G                                                D
That cut through those back acres to the river bend
                                          C
She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair, made people talk
           G                                       D
But did not care, try anything once ain't scared of nothing


[Chorus]

 D      C
We were cooler than December
 G                         D
Hotter than July, young and strong
                  C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
         G                                    D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone


[Solo]

So come on,
| D
come on,
| C  | G
don't mean you forget 'em
| D  |


[Bridge]

 G                         A
I still ride down those old roads
                  D
Even if it's in my mind
                           Bm
Tight blue jeans and winding curves
                    G                         A
Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time ---

 D      C
We were cooler than December
 G                         D
Hotter than July, young and strong
                  C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
         G                                    D7/C
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

 D      C
We were cooler than December
 G                         D
Hotter than July, young and strong
                  C
Some things aren't meant to last forever
         G                                    D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone


[Tag]

 C               G                    D
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
           G
So come on, come on
                                      D
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

  D                   G
So come on, come on
                                       D
Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
           G         D
