[Chorus]
D
Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford
   D
Or you could drive a Chevy
     D
Or a Jimmy if you really like
  A
A mountain of fun, the USA-1
  A
A Motor City Steel
    A                            D
You got to give the power to the people, ooh
D
Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao


[Verse 1]
D
Travis and Ricky, relationship is tricky
    D
But Ricky is a girl who wants to see the world
    A
But Travis is a boy, boys like a toy
    A
The Ram with a straight axle way off the board, singin'


[Chorus]
D
Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford
   D
Or you could drive a Chevy
     D
Or a Jimmy if you really like
  A
A mountain of fun, the USA-1
  A
A Motor City Steel
    A                            D
You got to give the power to the people, ooh
D
Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao


[Verse 2]
D
At the country dance, wearin' tiny pants
D
Ricky's tellin' everyone how they was made in France
    A
And Travis thinks it's funny, dancin' with his honey
A
Talkin' 'bout how tiny French pants cost so much money


[Interlude]
D             A
D
ooh ooh   ooh ooh...


[Bridge]
D
Alright, now this here's a sad and bleedin' part of the story
                             A
'Cause, well, Ricky's a good girl,
                                        A
She worked hard, she saved up her money, she bought herself a stack of
                                  D
American Express Travelers Checks , and a one-way ticket to
                                              A
Charles de Gaulle Paris International Airport,
                                A
And then she told Travis "Honey,  I ain't goin' for good, I'm just goin'"


[Verse 3]
D
Day she had to fly, said she wouldn't cry
D
Travis cried a little, he was caught in the middle
     A
Of a girl with a dream since she was a teen
  A
A boy and a truck
N.C.
"Darlin', good luck" (Oh)


[Chorus]
D
Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford
   D
Or you could drive a Chevy
     D
Or a Jimmy if you really like
  A
A mountain of fun, the USA-1
  A
A Motor City Steel
    A
You got to give the power to the
D
Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford

Or you could drive a Chevy
     D
Or a Jimmy if you really like

A mountain of fun, the USA-1
  A
A Motor City Steel
    A                            D
You got to give the power to the people, ooh

Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao  Oooh ma mao
