The Chevy Song

THE CHEVY SONG

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.
