[Verse 1]
        G            C   D  C
Now the first car he had,
   G            C   D  C
He got from his dad,
      G  C     D  C
Was a 62 Dodge,
       G            C
And it had a throne ride.
  D  C

[Verse 2]
        G           C
Ah, but he could pretend,
 D  C
     G    C    D  C
They ran again,
             G
And he could drive
      C    D  C
all around,
         G          C
Fourteen miles into town.
 D  C

[Verse 3]
         G   C  D  C
He had a galaxy,
       G     C
Two hubcaps, three
        D   C
on the tree,
          G
Up in his mind it
     C   D  C
 was fast,
              G
And he’d mash down on
     C  D  C
 the gas.

[Verse 4]
         G       C      D  C
And he’d pop out clutch,
            G
So that the tires would
 C      D  C
 squawk,
         G          C
And he’d drive all around,
 D  C
         G          C
Fourteen miles into town.
  D  C

[Chorus]
        G          D
Now the other kid’s gone,
 Fmaj7  C
     G         D     Fmaj7  C
He’s left all alone,
          G       D
He’s both old and young,
 Fmaj7  C
         G       D
He feels misunderstood,
Fmaj7  C
        G
Like he did when he was
 D             Fmaj7  C
 fifteen years old,
       G             D
All he wanted in the world,
Fmaj7  C
         G          C  D  C
A set of mag wheels,
         G          C  D  C
A set of mag wheels.

[Verse 5]
        G            C   D  C
Here in this for the van,
               G
And they put a bed in
    C   D  C
the back,
             G
And the camp out in
     C     D  C
the pines,
                  G
And listen to the loons
        C     D  C
in the night,
                   G
And they painted a mural
         C      D  C
 on the side.
          G
I have it never looked
 C     D  C
 right,
           G       C     D  C
Still they travel around,
         G          C     D  C
Fourteen miles into town.

[Verse 6]
       G
And he found some one
      D   Fmaj7  C
afternoon,
       G              D
At the garage sale in June,
Fmaj7  C
           G       D
They were aluminum slots,
   Fmaj7  C
        G           D
But the logs didn’t match up,
 Fmaj7  C
          G            D
He had to leave them behind,
 Fmaj7  C
              G            D
And it always bothered his mind,
Fmaj7  C

[Verse 7]
                    G
He drove his little car
        C    D  C
 to the job,
       G
And he parked it in
     C    D  C
the lots,
             G
And he never gave it
      C        D  C
 much thought,
                  G
I guess it didn’t mean
      C     D  C
 that much.

[Verse 8]
           G          C   D  C
From point A to point B,
         G
That was all that
    C      D  C
he needed,
   G            C      D  C
He never drove around,
              G
Just fourteen miles into
 C    D  C
 town.

He’s left all alone,
 Fmaj7  C
          G       D
He’s both old and young,
 Fmaj7  C
         G       D
He feels misunderstood,
Fmaj7  C
        G
Like he did when he was
 D             Fmaj7  C
fifteen years old,
       G             D
All he wanted in the world,

         G          C  D  C
