I Got a Car
Recorded by George Strait
Written by Keith Gattis and Tom Douglas

C
She was leaning on a rail in a cotton dress
F
Summer tanned pretty little perfect mess
       Am                                 G7
With a story that could only be anybody's guess
C
And I was thinking that I probably didn't stand a chance
      F 
But I rolled up my sleeves walked up and I said
            Am               G7           F   G7
Hey I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot
                   Am            G7 
She said I saw you comin' over I already thought it over
    F         G7
And ok so now what

                C
And I said well I got a car she said there's something
   F                        
At least it's a start I said it's better than nothing
  Am                                       G7
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
             C
And she said where do you think all this is going
F
I said there ain't no way of knowing
  Am             G7                      F
I guess I hadn't thought it through that far
G7          C   G7
But I got a car

      C
So we let the wheels turn and the windows down
   F
We let ourselves go all the way through town
    Am                                    G7 
She never said stop and I never asked her why
         C  
We drove into the night when outta nowhere
             F
She said I'd give anything to never go back there
      Am              G7              F   G7
And I kinda wish this day would never end
         Am                         
She said I could use a change  
    G7           F             G7
But I don't even know where to begin
 
                C 
And I said well I got a car she said there's something
   F
At least it's a start I said it's better than nothing
  Am                                       G7
I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are
             C
And she said where do you think all this is going
F 
I said there ain't no way of knowing
  Am            G7                      F   G7
I really hadn't thought it through that far
    Am              G7               F  
And I can't promise you the moon and stars
G7          C    G7 C
But I got a car

       F
We got lost in the miles lost track of the days
        C
Till we finally found a stopping place
         Am                G7                 F
When the doctor's said you know what's on the way
                
And we found ourselves in a little white house
    C     
One Sunday morning rain pouring down
    Am                G7       F                 G7 
She said I think it's time but all the lines are out
        Am                 G7                F           G7
And her eyes teared up and she said what are we gonna do now
 
                C  
And I said well I got a car she said there's something
    F
You think it'll start I said it's already running
         Am                                        G7      
Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are
                 C  
She said are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'
F                                       Am   G7             F   G7
I said if there's one thing I know girl it's gotten us this far
      Am                          G7             F   C  
And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are
