Side view Mirror

This song started out with Mike saying "It all looks clearer in the rear view mirror."  It sounded like a great starting place for a song. Turns out that Pearl Jam already has a song "Rear View Mirror." Well, that didn't stop me. The idea is still good and I just switched mirrors :)  Here are the lyrics:

Side View Mirror                                                   Datta 1/18/2016

C (A)

1. In 1974 I thought it would be smart
   F (D) C (A)
   to forget about college-- and be a country music star
   It made my folks real mad so I told them I didn't need them
   F (D) C (A)
   and now I spend my days repairing--- parking meters.     Gm (Em) F (D) C (A)
2. On my way to stardom I met a well spoken biker
   Gm (Em) F (D) C (A)
   He was easy on the eyes-better looking than that hitchhiker
   C (A)
   Now he's my big mistake and wonders how he got here.
   F (D) C (A)
   But I'm five miles down the road
   Gm (Em) C (A)
   Moving 90 miles an hour
   F (D) C (A) Gm (Em) F (D)
   and it's all looking better and better to me right here   

C (A)

3. Then I discovered meth and thought I might be a drug dealer
   You make more per hour than fixing parking meters
   But when you're cuffed and stuffed then killing time in jail
   Everything looks clearer when you're trying to make bail
4. Now five years later I'm out hanging with my friends
   The biker up and left but he's the gift that never ends
   No more selling meth - now he's running guns

Chorus; I'm 5 miles down the road

Moving 90 miles an hour

and it's all looking better and better to me right here
in the side view mirror
(repeat/ solo(s) over chorus chords/ repeat chorus)
