[Verse 1]
D C
$5000 burnt a hole in my pocket
G G
On a piano black old Oldsmobile Rocket
D C
Had salt washed fenders and chrome pitted lines
G G
Color matched seats and old Detroit style
D C G G
D C G G
[Verse 2]
D C
It drove down the road straight as a beam
G G
Got me out of town before they were looking at me
D C
I turned around at the county line
G G
To get my dog and the girl that caught my eye
D C G G
D C G G
[Verse 3]
D C
With a double-tap bleat of the steering wheel
G G
Her green eyes glanced as she bit her bottom lip
She said,
D C
“Buster James what are you doing here?
G G
Take me away, you handsome balladeer.”

[Bridge]
C G
The night air flows between our scars
D D
Black dirt roads beneath the stars
C G
She sings to the stereo with dome light dimmed
D D
My whistle fades beneath in the window wind
C G
She holds me up, she holds me close
D D
She took the wheel of the piano black Olds
C G
And drove us down where the warm water pools
D D
Sang till dawn and the songs of our youth
F G
The night air flows with the sounds of guitar
C Am
Black dirt roads beneath our tires
F G
We called it a night, we called it our lives
C Am
And that’s where we said goodnight
F G C C
Nigh, igh, ee’ight!
F G Am Am
Whoa, ohh, ooh oh!
F G C C
Whoa, ohh, ooh oh!

[Outro]
D C
$50 burnt a hole in my pocket
G G
On gasoline cans and a roadside prophet
D C
The piano black Olds is holding its own
G G
With its color matched seats and old Detroit soul
D D C G
D D C G
