We were burning in a 94 Corolla
Three hours deep into South Dakota
I was Working on a lukewarm Coca Cola
In the dog days of July
My dad was a Superman stick-shift driver
Stay-at-home Lois Lane beside him
Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs
As they went blurring by
Even when he would stop to pull over
He never took his hand off of her shoulder
CHORUS:
You can see for miles
you can reach the dials
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun you can feel the hum
of the axels underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun
Your sitting pretty and free
But you learn to love from the backseat
so
Blink one day and I'm rolling along
With a part-time job and blue pom poms
Like everydays a knock off Mellencamp song
With his hand right on my knee
we
Made the age old prom night promise
Put the corsage right where i wanted
we
Found a road with nobody on it
And we didnt stop to think
And I didn't care when he killed the motor
Shut off the lights and we climbed over
You can see for miles you can reach the dials
Sit back and smile from the front seat
You can chase the sun you can feel the hum
of the axels underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun
Your sitting pretty and free
But you learn to love from the backseat
BRIDGE:
Up here i see it clear thru the rear view
It's good to take the backseat when ya get to
You can see for miles
you can reach the dials
Sit back and smile
from the front seat
You can chase the sun- you can feel the hum
of the axels underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun
You're sitting pretty and free
But you learn to love
You can see for miles
you can reach the dials
Sit back and smile
from the front seat
You can chase the sun
you can feel the hum
of the axels underneath your feet
When you're sitting shotgun
Your sitting pretty and free
But you learn to love from the backseat
