Intro: (x2)
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:
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
Yeah, we were cooler than December
 G                           D
Hotter than July, young and  strong
                      C
And some things aren't meant to last forever
        G                                      D
But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

Solo:
D           C G                           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 ---

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

Tag:
 C                   G                    D
Don't mean you for- get '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
