Yeah these late nights, aren't what they used to be.

Traded fireflies, for every headlight that I see.
C F
The country roads that raised me, I see them now but as a memory,
Am G
Everything is good, everything is fine, it's somebody's home but it'll never be mine.
[Refrão]C F
You and me ridin round in a Chevy, two green lights and we're out of the city,
Am G
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go.
C F
Got no jobs and we got no money, got no cares when we hit the ground runnin,
Am G
Nothin but a summer sky, just livin that simple life.
C F Am G

C F
All this sunshine, I'm just wishin it would rain,
Am G
A thousand faces, but not one of them knows my name.
C F
Cuz I, say goodbye to what feels right, football games on a Friday night,
Am G
Everything is good, everything is fine, it's somebody's home but it'll never be mine.
C F
You and me ridin round in a Chevy, two green lights and we're out of the city,
Am G
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go.

Got no jobs and we got no money, got no cares when we hit the ground runnin,

Nothin but a summer sky, just livin that simple life.

C F
Just like the seasons change, I know things will never be the same,
Am G
I'd give it all just to feel that way again.

But it was you and me ridin round in a Chevy, two green lights and we're out of the city,
Am G
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go.
Chorus
C F
Got no jobs and we got no money, got no cares when we hit the ground runnin,
Am G
Nothin but a summer sky, just livin that simple life.
C F
You and me ridin round in a Chevy, two green lights and we're out of the city,
Am G
It's all I've ever known, when I don't know where to go.
C F
Got no jobs and we got no money, got no cares when we hit the ground runnin,
Am G
Nothin but a summer sky, just livin that simple life.
Am G
I'd leave this all behind, to just live that simple life.
