Walmart Parking Lot

G D/F# Em C


[Verse 1]
G                                    D/F#
I remember the summer I turned sixteen,
         Em                            C
And that old jalopy daddy gave to me-
G                                       D/F#
it had holes in the floor and just a 305,
Em                                            C
But I didn't care 'cause I could finally drive
Am               Em7     C
there wasn't much to do in my hometown,
Am              Em7              C
So every weekend night, we would all go down...


[Chrous]
G
there were freaks and hippies in my high school,
D/F#
Football players all tyrin' to be cool-
Em
And everybody scramblin' to hide their beer,
C
When the cops drove by 'til the coast was clear-
G                                       D
kids fallin' in and out of love,
       D/F#
On the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks
Am                                Em7           C
we were stumblin' our way Through life 'til our senior year,
Am                   Em7    D/F#
but man we sure did learn a lot,
                             G D/F#
In that wal-mart parking lot.


[Verse 2]
G                                         D/F#
She had long blonde hair and sea-green eyes,
          Em                                      C
The most beautiful thing I'd ever seen in my life-
    G                                     D/F#
But I was young and dumb and didn't have a line,
    Em                                           C
And all I could say was, "Can I call ya' sometime?"
Am            Em7    C
she just said no and walked away,
Am                            Em7           D/F#
And that was the first time I felt my heart break-

[Verse 3]
G
well I had my first kiss, my first love,
D/F#
Got my ass kicked but I got back up-
Em                              C                                 G     D/F#
lost my way, found it again,
 G                       D/F#
Had one long buzz and a dozen best friends-
                         Em   C                                G D/F# Em7 C
