Robert Ross - 69 Chevy Lyrics

69 CHEVY
By Robert Ross
Spoken Intro: I got a gas guzzling, oil burning, water boiling, smoke belching, money sucking, gut wrenching, corroded heap of rusty nuts & bolts.

Verse 1
I GOT A CAR SHE DON'T LOOK TOO HOT
SHE'S BADLY DENTED AND RUSTED OUT
THE PAINT IS CHIPPED AND CRACKED A LOT
SOME PEOPLE THINK SHE'S SHOT
Verse 2
CAN'T OPEN THE HOOD CAN'T CLOSE THE TRUNK
WINDSHIELD WAS SMASHED BY A REDHEADED PUNK
TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS IN HER I HAVE SUNK
AND SHE'S STILL A HEAP O' JUNK
Chorus
MY 69 CHEVY
I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE RUN
GONNA CALL UP MY BABY
THE 3 OF US WILL HAVE SOME FUN

Verse 3
MECHANICAL WORK I DO MYSELF
I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY NOBODY ELSE
I FOLLOW A BOOK UP ON MY SHELF
THAT EXPLAINS HER PRESENT STATE OF HEALTH
Verse 4
CURSE HER ALL YOU WANT BUT NOT TOO LOUD
THE CAR IS REAL NERVOUS AND AWLFUL PROUD
AND SHE MIGHT PUNISH US BY BREAKING DOWN
SOME COLD NIGHT WHEN FAR FROM TOWN
Chorus
MY 69 CHEVY
I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE RUN
GONNA CALL UP MY BABY
THE 3 OF US WILL HAVE SOME FUN

Verse 5
WHEN I GO TO START HER UP THEY SAY "GET A HORSE"
EVEN MY FRIENDS SAY "GIVE IT UP ROSS"
WHEN SHE'S FINALLY RUNNING SHE'LL JUST SPIT AND COUGH
SHE RUNS BEST WHEN YOU TURN HER OFF
Verse 6
WHEN I'M RIDING 'ROUND I'M FILLED WITH DOUBT AND FEAR
ONE OR TWO MILES IS ALL I CAN BEAR
IT SEEMS UNLIKELY WE?LL EVER GET THERE
AND IF WE DO FOLKS STOP TO STARE
Chorus: MY 69 CHEVY ....

Verse 7
I NEED MY CAR TO TRANSPORT MY BAND
CAUSE WE PLAY GIGS FOR FREE ALL OVER THE LAND
WE PUSH HER IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND
WHEN WE ARRIVE WE SURE LOOK GRAND
Verse 8
ONE MORE PURPOSE I HAVE FOR MY CAR
ESSENTIAL FOR A HOMELESS ROCK 'N' ROLL STAR
I NEED A PLACE TO DO A THING THAT'S QUITE BIZARRE
WITH MY GIRL VICTORIA
Chorus
MY 69 CHEVY
I JUST LOVE THE WAY SHE RUN
GONNA CALL UP MY BABY
THE 3 OF US WILL HAVE SOME FUN
