Full Song

Verse 1

G C G

I remember when the world was small and simple

D Em

Just a gravel road and a field of hay

G C G

We’d sit on the tailgate watching sunsets dimple

D Em

The Oklahoma sky at the end of day

Chorus

C G

And we were young and dumb and full of come-ons

D Em

Drinking soda pop and cherry wine

C G D Em

Thinking we had all the time in the world to figure out the bottom line

C G D Em

But time, it slips like sand through a screen door in the summertime

Verse 2

G C G

I remember Sunday mornings, Grandma’s cooking

D Em

Biscuits, gravy, and a prayer or two

G C G

The preacher man would talk while we were looking

D Em

Out the window where the cottonwoods grew

Chorus

C G

And we were young and dumb and full of come-ons

D Em

Drinking soda pop and cherry wine

C G D Em

Thinking we had all the time in the world to figure out the bottom line

C G D Em

But time, it slips like sand through a screen door in the summertime

Bridge

Em C G

Now the gravel’s paved over, the field’s a store

D Em

And Grandma’s in the ground out by the sycamore

Em C G

I drive by sometimes when I’m back this way

D Em

And I can almost hear what she used to say

Chorus

C G

“Boy, you’re young and dumb and full of come-ons

D Em

Drinking soda pop and cherry wine

C G D Em

You got all the time in the world to figure out the bottom line

C G D Em

But time, it slips like sand through a screen door in the summertime”

Outro

G

Yeah, time, it slips…

C G

Through a screen door in the summertime

D Em

Soda pop and cherry wine

C G D

Soda pop and cherry wine…

Em

Soda pop and cherry wine…

Practice tip: The chord progression G, C, D, Em repeats often. Practice switching between G and C, and D and Em, until you can do it without pausing the strum pattern.
