"Chevy S10" lyrics

She said, "Take me down every dirt road in Alabama
It's Friday night and I got nowhere to go
Daddy's drunk and Mama's busy crying
I just wanna feel like seventeen years old"

It's us against the world

I thought her lips tasted like salvation
That bench seat was an easy place to fall
Us drowning out the noise and passing back and forth that poison
Sure beat feeling nothing much at all

Living in a lonely world's enough to make you crazy
So we held on like we were speeding toward a bitter end
I mighta been a lost boy then, but all it took to save me
From the man I coulda been
Was that girl's love and a Chevy S10

(And a Chevy S10)

She told me when she turned eighteen, she's leaving
For some place where there's more to do than fail
She lit that fire in me, if not for her, I'd be
Dead or in Montgomery County jail

Living in a lonely world's enough to make you crazy
So we held on like we were speeding toward a bitter end
I mighta been a lost boy then, but all it took to save me
From the man I coulda been
Was that girl's love and a Chevy S10

I mighta been a lost boy then, but all it took to save me
From the man I coulda been
Was that girl's love
Was that girl's love and a Chevy S10

(And a Chevy S10)
