455 Rocket (Revival Outtake) Gillian Welch

[Verse 1]
Mr. Smith had an Oldsmobile
Baby blue with them wire wheels
I took her home the day she was advertised

[Verse 2]
Said she leaked when it would rain
Sounded like an aeroplane
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise

[Bridge]
She had a 455 Rocket
The biggest block alive
Couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn

[Chorus]
She was made for the straightaway
She grew up hating Chevrolet
She's a Rocket, she was made to burn

[Verse 3]
Whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this?
You boys come here to race or just kiss?
Don't you wanna know what I got underneath my hood?

[Verse 4]
Yes, I know she might sound like she's missing
But buddy, she could teach you a lesson
In just a quarter mile, I'll smoke you good good
