[Verse 1]
G
I need a sunset sky in cotton candy neon
F
An old Ford dashboard I can put my feet on
C
A shotgun slide shoulder I can lean on
G
Drive, baby, drive
F
Ooo See a Rock City sign on a barn by an old scarecrow
C G
Ooo I bet there’s peaches we can buy outside of a Texaco
[Chorus]
G
Takin’ the slow ride
F
Like that river runnin’ let it roll by
C
Smell that honeysuckle where it grows wild
C
Off the side of the road
G
Ain’t got nowhere to go
G
I’ll leave a lipstick stain on a Cheerwine sipper
F
Turn that dial to a little bit of Skynyrd
C
Sweet Home Alabama kinda state of mind
G
Yeah we’re just takin’ our time
G
Takin’ the slow ride
[Verse 2]
G
Crusin’ down a two-lane cuttin’ through the holler
F
Spin a little mud underneath the fire tower
C
Boy don’t hurry, keep it thirty miles an hour
G
Just drive, baby, drive
[Chorus]
G
Takin’ the slow ride
F
Like that river runnin’ let it roll by
C
Smell that honeysuckle where it grows wild
C
Off the side of the road
G
Ain’t got nowhere to go
G
I’ll leave a lipstick stain on a Cheerwine sipper
F
Turn that dial to a little bit of Skynyrd
C
Sweet Home Alabama kinda state of mind
G
Yeah we’re just takin’ our time
G
Takin’ the slow ride
