  			D                                       G             D 
I DROPPED OFF AT THE QUICKSACK FOR SOME BEER & CIGARETTES 
     G                 D                          A 
THIS OLD MAN TOOK MY MONEY AS HE STARED AT MY CORVETTE 
    D                                            G 
HE SIAD, I HAD ONE JUST LIKE HER SON, BACK IN 1963 
          D               A                  D           
TIL' THE MAN DOWN AT THE BANK TOOK HER FROM ME 

I HAD ONE THAT WAS HOTTER THAN A TWO DOLLAR PISTOL  
               G             D 
SHE WAS THE FASTEST THING AROUND 
G                    D 
LONG AND MEAN EVERY YOUNG MAN'S DREAM 
                          A 
SHE TURNED EVERY HEAD IN TOWN 
         D  
SHE WAS BUILT TO HANDEL SON 
                         G 
I'M GLAD THAT YOU WALKED IN 
                      D       A         D   
SHE REMINDS ME OF THE ONE I LOVED BACK THEN 
 
 
D                                        A               D  
WELL I HANDED HIM MY KEYS AND SAID, HERE TAKE HER FOR A SPIN 
    G                      D                               A 
THE OLD MAN SCRATCHED HIS HEAD, THEN HE LOOKED AT ME AND GRINNED 
         D                                               G 
HE SAID SON YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AIN'T THE CAR I WANT 
                           D          A       D   
IT'S THE BRUNETTE IN YOUR VETTE THAT TURNS ME ON
