(the Corvette Song) The One I Loved Back Then Lyrics

D                                       G             D

I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer & cigarettes



     G                 D                          A

This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette



    D                                      G

He said, I had one just like her son, in 1963



          D               A                  D          

Til' the man down at the bank took her from me





chorus:



Oh, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol



               G             D

she was the fastest thing around



G                    D

Long and lean every young man's dream 



                          A

She turned every head in town



         D 

She was built and fun to handle,



                              G

Son, I'm glad that you walked in



                      D       A         D  

She reminds me of the one I loved back then







D                                        A               D 

Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin



    G                      D                               A

The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned



         D                                               G

He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want



                           D          A       D  

It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on
