[Intro]
D5     E N.C.

[Verse 1]
E
Just a bunch of guys
gettin' in the car
E
No matter who's drivin'
or for how far
E
Feels so good, feels so alive
N.C.
No backseat driver tellin'
us how to drive

[Chorus]
           A
Me and the boys
                E
Just me and the boys
           A      E N.C.
Me and the boys

Me and my buddy just like to go

We'll have fun, everybody knows

We don't fuss and we never grab
N.C.
We just groove,
takin' in the sites

Me and the boys

[Verse 3]
E
Don't raise questions
'bout how it's done
E
We're just messin'
'round havin' fun
E
The car gears shiftin'
well up and down
N.C.
Mufflers a little loud
but we love the sound

Just me and the boys

[Bridge]
A
It ain't like us to hang around
This town is square and
     B
just bringin' us down

I've got to find us something new

I don't wanna think
      B             E
about what do they now

Distance no problem and
we don't care
      N.C.
Cause where ever we're goin',
we'll soon get there

Just me and the boys
