Riding With Private Malone David Ball
[G]I was just out of the service thumbin' through the classifieds
When an [C]ad that said old chevy somehow caught my eye
[G]The Lady didn't know the year or even if it ran
but I [C]had that thousand d[D]ollars in my h[G]and.
[G]It was way back in the corner of this old ramshakled barn
With t[C]hirty years of dust and dirt on that green army tarp
and [D]when I pulled the cover off, It t[C]ook away my breath
what she called a chevy was a '6[D]6 Corvette
I f[C]elt a little guilty as I c[D]ounted out the bills
but [G]what a thrill I got when I s[C]at behind the wh[D]eel.
[G]I opened up the glove box and thats when I found the note
The d[C]ate was 1966 t[D]his is what he w[G]rote
CHORUS:
He said my n[G]ame is P[D]rivate A[C]ndrew M[D]alone
and if y[G]oure reading t[D]his then I d[C]idn't make it [D]home
But for e[G]very dream they s[D]hattered, a[C]nother one comes t[D]rue
this c[C]ar was once a dream of mine b[D]ack when it was new
and th[G]ough you may t[D]ake her and m[C]ake her your o[D]wn
[G]You'll always be [D]rid-i[C]ng with P[D]rivate M[G]alone.
Well it didnt take me long at all I had her runnin' good
I loved to hear those horses thunder underneath her hood
I had her shining like a diamond and I'd put the ragtop down
All the pretty girls would stop and stare as I drove her though town
The buttons on the radio didnt seem to work quite right
but it picked up that oldies show especially late at night
I'd get the feelin' sometimes if I turned real quick I'd see
a soldier ridin' shotgun in the seat right next to me...
REPEAT CHORUS
[C]One night it was rainin' hard and I [D]took the curve to fast
[G]I still dont remember much [C]about the fiery cr[D]ash
[G]Someone said they thought they saw a soldier pull me out
they di[C]dnt get his name, but I k[D]now without a do[G]ubt...
REPEAT CHORUS
END
