there wasn't much to do in my hometown, so every weekend night, we would all go down...

E                                       B 
kids fallin' in and out of love, on the hoods of chevys, in the beds of trucks 
E/G#                               B                   Asus2 
we were stumblin' our way through life 'til our senior year,

but man we sure did learn a lot, in that wal-mart parking lot

but I was young and dumb and didn't have a line, and all I could say was, "Can I call ya' sometime?" 
E/G#                  Asus2       E/G#                               Asus2

in the wal-mart parking lot,       in that wal-mart parking lot
