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
