MAMA DROVE A MUSTANG
As recorded by Ron Pope
(From the 2025 Album AMERICAN MAN, AMERICAN MUSIC)
[Intro]
D G D G D A
G D G D G D A G
[Verse 1]
D
Writing songs in fiddle keys,
G D
Burning bright as kerosene,
G D
I left home to chase a dream,
A
A dream ain’t what I found.
Bm A
Fighting mad in the neon lights,
Bm A G A
I came to as they read my rights.
D G
At least I know where I’ll sleep tonight,
A G D G
So I guess it ain’t all bad.
[Chorus]
D G D
Mama drove a Mustang, when she was 25,
G D A
I was six years old, how’d the hell we stay alive?
Bm A Bm A
She flew down the highway, just like Petty in his prime.
D G A G D
Mama drove a Mustang, when she was 25.
[Interlude]
G D G D A G
[Verse 2]
D
Patron saint of where I come from,
G D
On a string around my neck.
G D
Nicotine on navy white,
A
It ain’t quite Christmas yet.
Bm A
And I would find a payphone now,
Bm A G A
But payphones don’t exist.
D G
Thankful for what I still have and
G G D G
Mourning all I’ll miss.
