You came down your stairs with that sundress and those Chuck Taylors on
G Bm A G
And your pop said, "Don't keep me up all night long"

We pulled out your drive about the time that sky went pink
G A
I said, "Baby, what ya think?"
CHORUS:
G Bm A G
And you said, "Take it slow, I know a backroad, we can find a spot to be alone
G Bm A G
We can sway back and forth to what's on the radio"
G Bm A
'Cause you said that you were all mine, innocent look in your eye
G A G Bm
Nothing but time, kiss me all night and let's just take it slow-ow-ow-ow
A G Bm A G G Bm A
You said, "We got nowhere to be, nowhere to go so lets just take it slow"
VERSE:
G Bm A G
I parked that Chevrolet in that field where those daises grow
G Bm A G
Put one in your hair, I said, "Don't you dare ever let me go"
G Bm A G
And I just wanna hold you 'til that sun comes back
G Bm A G A
And I just wanna know you like nobody ever has
CHORUS:
A G Bm A G
And you said, "Take it slow, I know a backroad, we can find a spot to be alone

We can sway back and forth to what's on the radio"
