The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song)

I stopped off at the quicksand for some beer and cigarettes

This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette

He said, „I had one just like her son, a 1963”

'Til the man down at the bank took her from me

Oh she was that was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built in from the handles, son, I'm glad that you walked in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Well I handed him my keys and said, „Here, take her for a spin”

The old man scratched his head, and then he looked at me and grinned

He said, „Son, you just don't understand, it ain't the car I want

It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on”

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built in from the handles, son, I'm glad that you dropped in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

Lord, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built in from the handles, son, I'm glad that you dropped in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

She reminds me of the one I loved back then
