Cold Chisel - HQ454 Monroe lyrics

You tell me that you’re leaving me For someone you believe to be Devoted just to you and you alone Well goodbye baby, you know I’ll Be thinkin’ of you only while I get my Chevy motor fully blown When you said I had to choose between This muscle car and you, my queen There was only one way that could ever go I used to get home when I could But there was nothing there as good As when I light the nitro on my HQ454 Monroe She got fuelie heads, a tunnel ram Roller rockers, lumpy cam A seated seta new L34’s Gotta new four hundred Hydra shift Simmons wheels, nine inch diff Bridgestone Eagers, twelve inch just because She’s got four a colour, four a clear She’s lookin’ better year by year And unlike you tonight she’s riding low So baby its goodbye You could never get me high Like when I light the nitro on my HQ454 Monroe Well baby if I had to guess I’d say your man is more or less The figment of an overheated dream The kinda thing a girl like you Can fantasize to get you through And rectify your battered self esteem I’ll bet he comes to get you in Some shopping trolley kinda thing That gets you where you’re going nice and slow Well off you go that’s fine The pleasure’s all mine When I light the nitro on my HQ454 Monroe
