When Theyre Gone

(2x) D G D G Look at that worn out rusty engine D G Sitting there begging for a spark D Don't look like much in that con- dition A But there was a time you should've seen her run D G Down every back road in Lyle County D G Under every streetlight up on Main D You sitting there drumming on a dashboard A Both of us falling like a fickle rain D C We were cooler than December G D Hotter than July, young and strong C Some things aren't meant to last forever G D But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone D C G D D C She had hair tangled as the kudzu, legs as long as the trails G D That cut through those back acres to the river bend C She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair, made people talk G D But did not care, try anything once ain't scared of nothing D C Yeah, we were cooler than December G D Hotter than July, young and strong C And some things aren't meant to last forever G D But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone D C G D G A I still ride down those old roads D Even if it's in my mind Bm Tight blue jeans and winding curves G A Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time --- D C When we were cooler than December G D Hotter than July, young and strong C Some things aren't meant to last forever G D7/C But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone D C Oh, we were cooler than December, G D Hotter than July, young and strong C Some things aren't meant to last forever G But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're C G D Don't mean you for- get 'em when they're gone G So come on, come on D Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone D G So come on, come on D Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone G D So come on, come on, so come on, come on -----
