Fire red t-bird made me look a little out of styleAs I sit there in daddy's old belle-airAnd I look for the quarter mileEverybody from the high schoolShowed up and gathered roundI was scared to d**h and praying to myselfNow chevy don't let me down
Becky joe dropped the towel on the roadAnd we both stepped on the gasWe were running neck and neckWhen we meets the overpa**He was pushing that t-birdAnd I heard make an awful soundI just laughed and I patted the dashAnd said chevy don't let me down
Chorus:Don't let me downThat steady old chevy has seen me happy and seen me sadWe cruised through a lot of good timesAnd rolled out the badIt'll never see a for sale signAs long as I'm aroundYeah, friends may come and friends may goBut that chevy don't let me down
It's been known to run hot put her out from time to timeAnd that's just what it did on an old dirt roadWith becky joe sitting by my sideWhile we waited for it to cool offThings heated up all aroundYeah I might have missed that very first kissBut this chevy don't let me down
Later on she and I spent many a nightWith the top down under the moonAnd after the wedding it took me and beckyOn a hell of a honeymoon
Chorus:
You know, friends may come and friends may goBut that chevy don't let me down
