Intro: GG
I've got a friend who wears go-go boots to Sunday School
We used to sit and drink pink champagne on a tin roof
C
Ridin' it out in a Thunderbird
G
Singin' out loud every single word of Jack & Diane
Tryin' to pretend there was no rules
D
Kissin' on boys and sneakin' in bars
Am
Tryin' to get a glimpse of who we are
DC
We weren't wild, but we weren't far
ChorusGAmCD
She said Thelma and Louise, you got nothin' on me
GCDC
And you can tell ol' James Dean to get in line
GAmCD
Thanks to Elvis and Kurt Cobain, the world will never be the same
CDGBmG
You gotta make history one day at a time
G
She graduated in 1987
We were gonna make a break for it together
C
Headed out to Hollywood
Where the stars are bright and the weather's good
G
But she changed her mind and went back to the 7-11
D
She went and married the football star
Am
Had few kids and works real hard
DC
It ain't wild but it ain't far
(Repeat Chorus)
