Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
                                   G  G  D
Patient in the bushes next to '57

The highway is your girlfriend
                    G  G  D
as you go by quick

Suburban trees, suburban speed
                                  G  G  D
And it smells like heaven, I say
                 D  D    \
