Do you remember back in high school
A E
Had a 57' Chevrolet

17 and breaking all the rules
A E
Man those had to be the good old days
B
Friday night driving down ole China Road
A E
6 pack and a bottle of wine
B
Lookin for a little stretch of lonely road
A B
I was yours and you were mine
CHORUS: (Abm = A flat minor)
E
Drivin down those Backroads of Summer
Abm
Back in 1969
A
We were young and crazier than ever
B
That's when we laid it all on the line
E
Girl you know I'd do it all over
Abm
If you were sitting there by my side
A
Drivin down those Backroads of Summer
B E
Let's go back there tonight.

Down at the all night drive in
A E
Parked out in the very next row

Hard to keep the car from rockin
A E
Instead of watching that picture show

Sunday we'd head down ol' 59
A E
Take a drive to the ol' half moon

Get an ice cream cone for a dime
A B
That's how we spent Sunday afternoon
