FRONT SEAT, BACK SEAT

(Tommy Coomes-Chuck Girard)

A                                                     D
I was a 'runnin' from my Master
                A                                                                     E7
And I tried out every new thing I could find
                A                                      D
But my life turned into one disaster
        A                                    E7                           A
Without the Lord I almost blew my mind

            Chorus
A                                       D
I was sittin' in the front seat
A                                                              E7
Tryin' really hard to be the driver
A                                                  D
Thinkin' I was makin' real good time
           A                               E7                    A
But always windin' up the late arriver
                   D                                            A
But now I been tryin' out the back seat
               E7                                      A
And I find it is a very great relief
D                                             A
Now I'm ridin' in the back seat
                      E7                                                    D        A
And I'm leavin' all the drivin' to the Chief

A                                                        D
I went barrelin' out full speed ahead
                     A                                                                 E7
I went a 'runnin' every stop sign that I'd see
A                                                               D
Thinkin' I'd give the Lord a shortcut
       A                                                 E7                                  A
But I found out He don't need no help from me
