Intro]
C F C G C
[Verse]
C
We were young and in
F C
love in Alabama
C
But it wasn't Birmingham,
G G7
it wasn't Mobile
C
And so we were nowhere,
F C
dreamers with a blank stare
C
Running lost highways through
G C
the cotton fields
[Verse]
C
You'd slide over on my bench
F
seat and make a joke and
C
poke fun at me
C
Just because I kept a Bible
G G7
on the dash of my truck
C
It ain't that I read it much,
F C
it was really just there for looks
C
And young love on lost highways,
G C C7
you know we needed the luck
[Chorus]
C7 F
'Cause isn't it something how
C
young love can turn to nothing
F
If you add a little distance
G G7
and time passеs by?
C
So I said, "Let's get affectionatе,
F C
like it says in the New Testament"
C
And we were laughing at tomorrow
G C G C
and grinning through the night
[Verse]
C
Do you remember when we'd wander,
F C
go floating down the Escatawpa?
C
We wasn't really doing nothing
G G7
but passing time
C
And running from the knowledge
F C
you were soon to leave for college
C
And splashing on the creek
G C C7
banks and I tried not to cry

[Chorus]
C7 F
'Cause isn't it something how
C
young love can turn to nothing
F
If you add a little distance
G G7
and time passеs by?

C F C G C
[Verse]
C
Well, I helped your daddy move
F C
ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
C
"You better not forget me",
G G7
you whispered in my ear
C
I couldn't smile, so I faked it,
F C
we both knew I'd never make it
C
Even if I found the money
G C C7
to come to see you up here
[Chorus]
C7 F
'Cause isn't it something how
C
young love can turn to nothing
F
If you add a little distance
G G7
and time passеs by?
