Intro (G, Gsus2) x 3 
 
G 
I still think about us  
and the rush that we felt 
With the ragtop down 
and the radio blastin' 
 
G 
You were riding shotgun 
in nothing but a bikini and seatbelt 
Looking better than the  
law should've been allowing 
D                    Em 
Hit the corner goin' 90 
       C   
Lovin' blindly fallin', 
G          G/F#      Em 
head over heels over you 
Em              C 
Every feeling that we felt 
        D  
was a feeling that felt brand new 
          Em                 Am 
And, you look just like an angel 
       G              D 
that cross on your necklace 
           Am           D 
You were young, I was wild 
            G  
we were reckless  
(G, Gsus2) x 4 
 
G 
We drive on down to the river 
burnin' up those hot summer nights 
Laughing at the cowboys gettin'  
crazy, and pickin' fights 
 
G 
It wasn't funny, that deputy caught 
you and me, steamin' up those windows 
And how your daddy never found out 
about it honey, heaven only knows 
 
Chorus 
 
Guitar and fiddle solo 
(Chorus chords) 
 
G 
I looked into your eyes and I 
promised you forever 
And I believed it with all my heart 
I just didn't know any better 
G 
Gettin' over you took years 
(I'll spot)? those tears I cried 
And I'd do it all over again 
all for the thrill of the ride 
 
Chorus 
 
Young, wild, and reckless 
 
(G, Gsus2) fade out
