Well I saw you out in your car
 
A7 (C?) C7 (Gm?) E7 E7 E7 E7
You had the top down, you were drivin' real slow
 
Well I saw you in the grocery store
Buyin' tomatoes for a casserole

Washin' your clothes, gettin' all the dirt out
 
Well I saw you with your car broke down
Fixin' your flat with a tire iron
