Biography:
John Conlee has achieved a level of success that he has sustained by simply being himself and by making records that the listening public can relate to. He is a gifted entertainer, but he’s not into the glitz and hype of the entertainment world. He’d rather spend his “off the road” time working on his 32 acre farm outside of Nashville, or engaging in his woodworking and gun-smithing hobbies.
Overall, there have been 29 single releases throughout the years with 26 of them charting in the top 20 or better.

[Intro]
|(D)(C#m)|(Bm)(A)|(G)(A)|(D) - - -
[Verse]
D C#m Bm A
She was sittin' on a car lot looking like a dream
G A D
Underneath a string of lights
D C#m Bm A
A 49 mod- el and I was sixteen
G A D
But I knew it was love at first sight
Bm A
And the man said, son, I'll make you a deal
G D A
And I knew I had to make her mine
D C#m Bm A
I held my breath and slid be- hind the wheel
G A D
It was my ver- y first time
[Chorus]
D A G D
Cars, just motors and wheels
G A D
Rubber and glass and steel
G D A Bm
Still, I think back over the years
G D A
And it sounds strange, I suppose
G A D
But it's cars I re- member most
[Verse]
D C#m Bm A
She was parked on the street by the First Baptist Church
G A D
As we ran down the steps hand in hand
D C#m Bm A
My brand new Chev- y waiting there at the curve
G A D
And we waved to the crowd and got in
Bm A
Well, the miles went by and so did the years
G D A
And I thought that we were doing alright
D C#m Bm A
Till she packed up the kids and picked up the keys
G A D
And just drove away one night
[Solo]
|(D)(C#m)|(Bm)(A)|(G)(A)|(D)
[Chorus]
D C#m Bm A
Well, the years have gone by and a lot of thing changed
G A D
I hardly see the kids any more
D C#m Bm A
Took a new job and moved to LA
G A D
And bought me a two- -seater Porsche
Bm A
There's lots of pretty girls out here and you know
G D A
I could be doing alright
D C#m Bm A
But mostly at night I just drive up the cost
G A D
And look at the cit- -y lights
