Capo 3 C Legs stickin' to the vinyl seats G Ice cream truck goes by on the street F Little brother doesn't even look F C Head buried in a comic book
C Dad come back with cigarettes G Radio plays Bennie & The Jets F Mama sings, says don't touch that dial F C Daddy just smiles Chorus 1: Am C/B C And we roll out of the five and dime F G C Main Street 1979 Passed the park and the hardware store Daddy waves to the man in the door Stopped down at the KFC, soon there's chicken smellin up the back seat Mama says you boys leave that bucket alone We'll all eat when we get home Catch my dad in the side view mirror Grinnin' ear to ear Chorus 2: He was holdin mama's hand real tight Main Street 1979 Bridge: Am G I wonder now who's town this is F C As I roll in with my wife and kids Dm Cause nothing seems to change G But nothing stays the same Daddy drove on and there he was Loading lumber on a flat bed truck Grampa waved and smiled real big Lord, how he loved us grand kids Six years later when the cancer came That old man didn't know my name Wished now dad had stopped the car And I would run for a hug from Grampa's arms But I barely waved as we drove by Main Street 1979 What I'd give for one more ride Down Main Street 1979
