FIRE RED T-BIRD MADE ME LOOK A LITTLE OUT OF STYLE
AS I SAT THERE IN DADDY'S OLD BELLE-AIR
LINED UP FOR THE QUARTER MI LE
EVERYBODY FROM THE HIGH SCHOOL
SHOWED UP AND GATHERED RO UND
I WAS SCARED TO DEATH AND PRAYING TO MYSELF
NOW CHEVY DON'T LET ME DOW N
BECKY JOE DROPPED THE T OWEL ON THE ROAD
AND WE BOTH STEPPED ON THE G AS
WE WERE RUNNING N ECK AND NECK
WHEN WE REACHED THE OVER PASS
HE WAS PUSHING THAT T-BIRD
AND I HEARD MAKE AN AWFUL S OUND
I JUST LAUGHED AND PATTED ON THE DASH
AND SAID CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
Chorus
DON'T LET ME D OWN
THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HA S SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD
W E CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES
A ND ROLLED OUT THE BAD
I T'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN
AS LONG AS I'M A ROUND
YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND F RIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
Verse 2
IT'S BEEN KNOWN TO RUN HOT SPUTTER OUT FROM TIME TO TIME
AND THAT'S JUST WHAT IT DID ON AN OLD DIRT ROAD
WITH BECKY JOE SITTING BY MY SIDE
WHILE WE WAITED FOR I T TO COOL OFF
THINGS HEATED UP ALL AR OUND
YEAH I MIGHT HAVE MISSED THAT V ERY FIRST KISS
BUT THIS CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
Chorus
DON'T LET ME D OWN
THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HA S SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD
W E CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES
A ND ROLLED OUT THE BAD
I T'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN
AS LONG AS I'M A ROUND
YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND F RIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
Verse
LATER ON SHE AND I SPENT MANY A NIGHT
WITH THE TOP DOWN UNDER THE MOON
AND AFTER THE WEDDING IT T OOK ME AND BECKY
ON A HELL OF A HONEYM OON
Chorus
DON'T LET ME D OWN
THAT STEADY OLD CHEVY HA S SEEN ME HAPPY AND SEEN ME SAD
W E CRUISED THROUGH A LOT OF GOOD TIMES
A ND ROLLED OUT THE BAD
I T'LL NEVER SEE A FOR SALE SIGN
AS LONG AS I'M A ROUND
YEAH, FRIENDS MAY COME AND F RIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
YOU KNOW, FRIENDS MAY COME AND F RIENDS MAY GO
BUT THAT CHEVY DON'T LET ME D OWN
