Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][Em]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
Bluebonnets down a long stretch [Bm]of
hill country highway
[Em]Windows down, radio up,
ride [C]shotgun next to you
[G]You were smoking Camel Lights behind
[Bm]the wheel I can still hear you say
Three [Em]hundred thousand miles you can't beat an ol'
[C]beat [G]up[Bm][G]
[Em]Chev[C]role[Am]t[C]

[Verse 2]
Well [G]Granny's in the kitchen,
smell [Bm]of fried chicken frying
She's [Em]cooking in her apron singing
[C]along with Patsy Cline
Playing [G]ball in the front yard,
little [Bm]sister runs in crying
She [Em]climbs up in her arms,
I hear her laugh[C]ing through the old screen door

[Verse 3]
They don't [G]make 'em like they used to
They don't [Bm]make 'em like they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em like
you [C]anymore
They don't [G]make 'em like they used to
They don't [Bm]make 'em like
they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em
like you [C]anymore

[Verse 4]
Well the [G]days have changed since the golden
days in [Bm]some ways we've come so far
But I [Em]never dreamed we'd trade the
American [C]Dream for a fancy foreign car
Have [G]we sold our souls to save a buck
[Bm]traded hard work for dumb luck
And those [Em]old country songs are sounding
bet[C]ter than ever before

[Verse 5]
They don't [G]make 'em like they used to
They don't [Bm]make 'em like
they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em
like you [C]anymore
Now they don't [G]make
'em like they used to
They don't [Bm]make 'em like
they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em like
you [C]anymore

[Verse 6]
So you [G]live the kind of life so long
[Bm]after you're long gone
You'll always [Em]be there in their hearts
and your love [C]light will shine on
And [G]someday they'll sit around down
[Bm]at John T's Country Store
They'll be [Em]laughing over stories you told a
[C]thousand times before, saying
They don't make em like
you [Em]any [Bm]more[C]
[D]They don't make em like
you [G]any[Bm]more
[Em]

[Verse 7]
[C]They don't mak[G]e
'em like they used to
[Bm]They don't make 'em like
they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em like you [G]anymore
[C]They don't mak[G]e
'em like they [Am]used to
[G]They don't [Bm]make 'em
like they [G]used to
They don't [Em]make 'em like you [C]anymore

[Verse 8]
Well [G]no news is good news,
tell [Bm]me whose news really tells the truth
[Em]The death toll rises high as gas p[C]rices
shoot straight through the roof
Mean[G]while politicians preach
while some [Bm]preachers politic
Well we [Em]need is lots of love,
yeah lots [C]of love might do the trick

[Verse 9]
Instead we [G]criticize, we glamorize who's [Bm]right or wrong,
who's left or right
Missing [Em]out on so many beautiful colors
fighting [C]over what's black and white
We've [G]gotta forgive, gotta learn to live togeth[Bm]er,
make the world a better place
And just [Em]may be someday somebody
somewhere will [C]look back on today
Look back on us and say

[Verse 10]
They don't [G]make 'em like they used to
They don't [Bm]make 'em
like they used to
They don't [Em]make 'em like you [C]anymore
