I would appreciate your vote.

I received a message a few weeks ago about a Chevy Song Competition.  They are looking for original compositions that include Chevrolet or Chevy in the lyric.  It looked like an interesting challenge, so I figured that I would give it a shot. 

I started thinking about all of the Chevrolet cars and trucks that have been in my life.  I started listing them and before I knew it, the song had pretty much written itself.  It’s almost all autobiographical except for the last two verses.  While I like to go to classic car shows and look at all that shiny chrome, I never fell in love at one, nor have I married someone that bought a new SUV.  But you never know, maybe someday.

I would greatly appreciate your vote for this competition.  Please click here to go to my contest page.  Here is the URL for the page - http://agirlandaguitar.musicnation.com/  If you click on “vote now” it will take you to a head to head music player.  Thanks! 


THE CHEVY SONG
© 2008 A Girl And A Guitar

I grew up riding in my Grandpa’s Chevrolet.
An old green pickup truck, you know it squeeked when it would shake.
And I learned how to spell from the word on the tailgate.
Yeah, C H E V R O L E T spells Chevrolet.

I learned to drive inside a Chevy Cavalier
when I took Driver’s Ed. in summer school my sophomore year.
I had my first kiss inside a Monte Carlo coupe.
I still remember where we were and what i said to you.

Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  So get inside, are you ready?
The tank is full, my foot is heavy.  Yeah, let’s go for a ride.
Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  We can go fast if you let me.
I’ll hit the gas and we can see how soon we will arrive.

I moved up to college in an Astro minivan.
I filled it up with all my stuff in big black plastic bags.
And in the spring we all piled in a Malibu sedan.
Drove all night long to Florida for fun upon the sand.

My sister bought a second hand Camaro with t-tops,
installed a brand new stereo with sixteen hundred watts.
Had it painted in her favorite color cherry red.
Cruised all around the town, I found out this is what she said.

Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  So get inside, are you ready?
The tank is full, my foot is heavy.  Yeah, let’s go for a ride.
Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  We can go fast if you let me.
I’ll hit the gas and we’ll test the suped up overdrive.

I fell in love beside a Chevrolet Corvette.
It was at a classic car show on the weekend that we met.
He picked me up driving a 65 Bel Air
custom striped convertible and we dated for a year.

Now that we are married, plan to raise a family.
My husband just came home with a new Tahoe SUV.
He’s so excited, just can’t wait for me to see.
He busted through the door before and shouted out to me.

Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  So get inside, are you ready?
The tank is full, my foot is heavy.  Yeah, let’s go for a ride.
Let’s take a ride in my Chevy.  We can go fast if you let me.
I’ll hit the gas and we can keep the throttle open wide.     

Happy Valentine’s Day!
