Me and Joe drove out to California
                    F5       
Bend it up into the cover of night

Me and Daniel south of the state line
                       F5
with my cousins on the 4th of july

[Bridge]

Sometimes I'll ride all night.

It ain't wastin' time if you just remember it right.

While you've been to busy with my long lost friends
G

D
I never wanna say that part
C
off the road and say hello
C                            Em

thinkin', wonderin' how've you've grown
D                                               C
never wanna say that part, off the road and say hello.
