It was the summer before the real world started and,

the deal was we would get to go, 
F 	  	  	     C
if we 
cleaned it up, and got it running, 

Am                G
Daddy's old Winnebago.

Wing and a prayer down 65, 
Am 	  	  	     G

five best friends on four bald tires,

F 	  	  	 C
Most days in life don't stand out, 

Am 	  	  	  	 G
but life's about those days that we all like,

Rocking Randell,

shooting roman candles at the man in the moon,

When the winds go cold

and over and over, 
in my mind.
