As recorded by Corey Smith (2023 release) [Intro] G Cadd9 [Verse 1]
         G
I got my Chevrolet keys the first week of June

          Cadd9
It was my daddy's ol' truck but I had it looking like new

       G
I went straight to her house took her out for a spin

          Cadd9
I kept my hands to myself 'cause we were still just friends

     Em       D     C              D
Back then, we swore, we'd never be more, but
[Chorus]
                 C                                D
Two hands on the wheel turned into one on her knee

          C
Takin' it slow turned into pickin' up speed

D                           C                          D
Keepin' my eyes on the road turned into lookin' in hers

                  C                        D
Ridin' the brakes turned into huggin' them curves

                       C  D
Yeah, that summеr flew by

         G                  C
Learnin' to drive, lеarnin' to drive
[Verse 2]
     G
That July was hot and my AC didn't work

         Cadd9
Kept the windows rolled down and that was fine by her

               G
She'd turn the radio loud let her blonde hair fly

         Cadd9
Lift her sunglasses up and show the green in her eyes

         Em7        D     C              D
As she'd sing every line, to "Strawberry Wine"
[Chorus]
                     C                                D
And two hands on the wheel turned into one on her knee

          C
Takin' it slow turned into pickin' up speed

D                           C                          D
Keepin' my eyes on the road turned into lookin' in hers

                  C                        D
Ridin' the brakes turned into huggin' them curves

                       C  D
Yeah, that summеr flew by

         G                  C
Learnin' to drive, lеarnin' to drive
[Bridge]
G
August was a flash my foot stayed heavy on the gas

           Cadd9
I hung her necklace on the mirror put her picture on the dash

G
I told her I loved her but she never said it back

  Cadd9
I thought we'd last forever but that summer's all we had

    Em        D    C                        D
Too fast, too far, wound up wreckin' my heart
[Chorus]
                     C                                D
And two hands on the wheel turned into one on her knee

          C
Takin' it slow turned into pickin' up speed

D                           C                          D
Keepin' my eyes on the road turned into lookin' in hers

                  C                        D
Ridin' the brakes turned into huggin' them curves

                       C
Yeah, that summеr flew by
[Outro]
D                        Em7
Left me with tears in my eyes

D                   C       D
Kissed my innocence goodbye

         G                  C
Learnin' to drive, learnin' to drive

         G                          C   G
Learnin' to drive, that summer flew by
