G                              C
I was just a kid, my daddy said to me
G                             D
Son, you’ll understand when you’re a little older
G                               C
He handed me a key, said, "This is your chance"
G                                 D
So I jumped in the car, and I took off down the road

G                           C
I was riding with Private Malone
G                           D
He was a soldier, a hero, my friend
G                            C
We drove through the night, just me and him
G                             D
He said "Son, I’ll be with you till the end"

G                               C
The miles flew by, and we laughed and we cried
G                            D
He told me stories of the life he had known
G                                C
But then I woke up, and it hit me so hard
G                                 D
I was all alone, riding with Private Malone
