SWEET LITTLE RIDE OF MINE

I can't wait to get home and see her
It still floors me that she's mine
I think about it, my skin tingles
I'm in a frenzy by quitting time

The guys at work, all joke about it
They're just jealous of my luck
Try and act cool in their presence
Smile, walking towards my truck

I leave the parking lot, and giggle
I'm laughing down the interstate
Try to calm down, control my speed
But the truth is, I can hardly wait

~~~*Chorus*~~~
And there she is in the driveway
The reason I'm so obsessed
With her 427 V 8 engine
My 69 Corvette
Oh man she's such a beauty
And she stuns me every time
I thank God for Chevrolet
And this sweet little ride of mine
~~*~~

Daddy yells to me, in the driveway
Oh yeah, I still live at home
It's the only way I could get this car
And afford to pay back the loan

Daddy said, Son it's time to move
You're driving your Mama mad
You might want to find yourself a girl
Cause your Mama don't understand

Said you would, when you turned thirty
Gave your word, no turning back
I touched my car, shook my head and
wondered
Could a woman make me feel like that

~~~*Chorus*~~~
And there she is in the driveway
The reason I'm so obsessed
With her 427 V 8 engine
My 69 Corvette
Oh man she's such a beauty
And she stuns me every time
I thank God for Chevrolet
And this sweet little ride of mine
~~*~~

We met in sunny California
At a car show in L.A.
You can bet, matching Corvettes
Makes you hot on any day

My Mama's happy, I found a Wife
We got married yesterday
Her Corvette's parked next to mine
In our very own driveway

The mutual lust, for those cars
Fills us up, and overflows
We both think the other, walks on water
Oh...ya know where the excess goes

~~~* Lyrical Bridge*~~~
Yah! we do everything together...fit each other
like a glove
Standing at the sink, doing dishes, admiring
Our first loves
~~*~~

~~~*Final Chorus*~~~
And there they are in the driveway
The reason we are so obsessed
With 427 V 8 engines
Our 69 Corvettes
Oh man, they are such beauties
And they stun us every time
We thank God for Chevrolet
In ways we can't define
~~*~~

Mmm...Sweet little ride of mine...
