Shannon Forrest - From the Backseat lyrics

[Verse 1] We were burning in a '94 Corolla Three hours deep into South Dakota I was working on a lukewarm Coca-Cola In the dog days of July My dad was a Superman stick-shift driver Stay-at-home Lois Lane beside him Kissing to the rhythm of the billboard signs As they went blurring by Even when he would stop to pull over He never took his hand off of her shoulder [Chorus] You can see for miles You can reach the dials Sit back and smile From the front seat You can chase the sun You can feel the hum Of the axles underneath your feet When you're sitting shotgun You're sitting pretty and free But you learn to love from the backseat [Verse 2] So blink one day and I'm rolling along With a part-time job and blue pompoms Like everyday's a knock off Mellencamp song With his hand right on my knee We made the age old prom night promise Put the corsage right where I wanted We found a road with nobody on it And we didn't stop to think And I didn't care when he k**ed the motor Shut off the lights and we climbed over [Chorus] You can see for miles You can reach the dials Sit back and smile From the front seat You can chase the sun You can feel the hum Of the axles underneath your feet When you're sitting shotgun You're sitting pretty and free But you learn to love from the backseat [Bridge] Up here I see it clear thru the rearview It's good to take the backseat when you get to [Chorus] You can see for miles You can reach the dials Sit back and smile From the front seat You can chase the sun You can feel the hum Of the axles underneath your feet When you're sitting shotgun You're sitting pretty and free But you learn to love You can see for miles You can reach the dials Sit back and smile From the front seat You can chase the sun You can feel the hum Of the axles underneath your feet When you're sitting shotgun You're sitting pretty and free But you learn to love from the backseat [Outro] We were burning in a '94 Corolla Three hours deep into South Dakota I was working on a lukewarm Coca-Cola
