Had a little chain around the license plate,
A
B
E
but that weren't no big deal
Captain shined up like a new penny,
all dressed up so neat
She was a classic and more, with a four in the floor,
E
Had a straight pipe running through the muffler,
And that old
A
B
E
Until I hit that switch
Then you better pull down your windows
Hear that

Believe it or not, between these city blocks,
Down in

And when I met that special girl,
E

Yeah, go down to the sky, be drivin'
Have a little of that fried chicken
Do a little sparkin'

Ooh, got me a suicide knob
on my steering wheel
Got a rose in it, a wife wouldn't
