This was an older matt mays song that was called G And Me that was recently re-recorded.
couldn't find any tabs for it and the lyrics people have been submitting are terrible,
this is my attempt at both.

VERSE:
             G                           C       G
It was that life changing song on that white cassette
       G        C      G
A melody I'll never forget
     G                      C    G
Get me a triple triple and a BCD
      G              C     G
The good times will be on me

CHORUS:
Em            Bm        C     G
Throw in the shifter 1, 2 and 3
Em            G         C      G
Find me the queen of Portland street
Em            Bm        C       G
Out in the five runner out in the rain
Em     G        C    G
Me and G chasing hurricanes


 (repeat the intro riff)


VERSE:
G                 C    G
Come on Lanny cut me a deal
G                    C       G
I work so hard and I never steal
       G             C      G
And the 827 punched out my lights
 G                   C      G
Down at Rudy's last Saturday night


G                          C         G
I know this road like the back of my hand
          G                   C      G
From the donair temple to the L-town sand
       G                     C       G
Me and G will meet you down in the dunes
          G                            C         G
With the moon and the tunes yeah we'll be there soon
