The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song)

(Gary Gentry)



I stopped off at the Quicksack

For some beer and cigarettes

The old man took my money

As he stared at my Corvette

He said, I had one just like her son,

In 1963

'Til the man down at the

Bank took her from me.



Chorus:

Oh, She was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built and fun to handle, son

I'm glad that you dropped in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then.



--- Instrumental ---



Then, I handed him my keys and said,

Here take her for a spin

The old man scratched his head, and

Then he looked at me and grinned

He said son you just don't understand

It ain't the car I want

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



Chorus:

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built and fun to handle, son

I'm glad that you dropped in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then.



Chorus:

Lord, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

She was the fastest thing around

Long and lean, every young man's dream

She turned every head in town

She was built and fun to handle, son

I'm glad that you dropped in

She reminds me of the one I loved back then.



She reminds me of the one I loved back then...
