Intro

x4

 In summer '63 I was staying alive

hanging at the races, hoping to drive

 When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars

I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar

 I'm up in the corner nursing a beer

who should come laughing and joking in here

 but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race

with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place

Bobby was a wild boy - one summer

 he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer

 He'd do anything - one night for a bet

 he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

 I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that

 with the beautiful girl and be king of the track

 But the truth is when all was said and done

 it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

 It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one

 The car was the one

 The car was the one
