Double wide, quick stop, midnight, T-top, Jack in her Cherry Coke town 
Em        Bm              G           C           Em            Bm            G        C 
Momma and daddy put their roots right here 'cause this is where the car broke down

Yellow dawn, school bus kickin' up red dust, picking us up by a barbed wire fence 
Em-Bm      G-C     Em-Bm    G      C 
MTV on the RCA, no A/C in the Vents
[Chorus]
         G             Bm              Em            C 
We were Jesus save me, blue jean baby, born in the USA 
G                        Bm                     Em           C 
Trailer park truck stop, faded little map dots, New York to LA 
        G                 Bm                  Em                  C 
We were teenage dreamin', front seat leanin', baby come give me a kiss 
G                          Bm                   Em               C 
Put me on the cover of the Rollin' Stone uptown down on American kids 
Em            C 
Growin' up in little pink houses 
Em            C 
Makin' out on living room couches 
Em                    C 
Blowin' that smoke on Saturday night 
Em                           G 
A little messed up but we're all alright

Baptist church parking lot, trying not to get caught, take her home and give her your jacket 
Em           Bm              G               C           Em           Bm     G           C 
Making it to second base but sayin' you went all the way Monday afternoon at practice 
Em       Bm    G  C      Em    Bm      G     C 
Sister's got a boyfriend daddy doesn't like 
         Em          Bm     G            C          Em       Bm      G         C 
Now he's sitting out back, 30-30 in his lap in the blue bug zapper light
[Chorus]
