[Verse 1]
Am F He rolled up in his Nova like it was 1975 C G He had his old pal Gene shotgun by his side Am F They'd talk local politics and the Celtics as we'd ride C G On torn and tattered leather, I'd sink down low and hide Am F From the worries and the sorrows that I felt in this young life C G But when I was with my grandfather, somehow it seemed alright Am F I was sent off with him and told I'd better learn how to behave C G Am (2x) I was taught all that and more amongst the Chesterfields and aftershave
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G We drove straight for the local, we didn't travel far F There, I'd sit up nice and tall C G And have my chips and my soda at the bar
[Chorus]
Am C If you could come back now and we could take a drive around F C G And I could play you this song, you'd probably say it's way too loud Am C If you could come back now, if you were out there in the crowd F C You'd know that I turned out okay and I G Am F I hope I'd make you proud C G I hope I'd make you proud
[Verse 2]
Am F And I wish that you were there with me in October of '04 C G On that field in St. Louis, something we'd never seen before Am F And I wish you could've been there to meet and know my kids C G Am (2x) And tell 'em all about the funny, crazy things we did
[Pre-Chorus]
F C G We drove straight for the local, we didn't travel far F There, I'd sit up nice and tall C G And have my chips and my soda at the bar
[Chorus]
Am C If you could come back now and we could take a drive around F C G And I could play you this song, you'd probably say it's way too loud Am C If you could come back now, if you were out there in the crowd F C You'd know that I turned out okay and I G Am F I hope I'd make you proud C G I hope I'd make you proud
[Bridge]
Dm Am I'd say I've come a long way since the days you left this world C G When I descended into madness and the tragedy unfurled Dm Am Yeah, this one really hurt, it really cut me to the bone G Knocked me down and knocked me out Am F C G It made me question everything I'd ever known Am Woooohhh oh whoa oh F Woooohhh oh whoa oh C Woooohhh oh whoa oh G Woooohhh oh whoa oh Am Woooohhh oh whoa oh F Woooohhh oh whoa oh C Woooohhh oh whoa oh G Woooohhh oh whoa oh Am F He rolled up in his nova like it was 1975 (oh, oh) C G G He had his old pal Gene shotgun by his side (oh, oh)
[Chorus]
Am C If you could come back now, if we could take a drive around F C G And I could play you this song, I know you'd say, "I like it loud" Am C If you could come back now, if you were out there in the crowd F C You'd know that I turned out okay and I G Am F I hope I'd make you proud, C G I hope I'd make you proud
[Outro]
Am F C G Am I hope I'd make you proud
