Cadd9/G Em G D When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar. Cadd9/G Em D I'm up in the corner nursing a beer, who should come laughing and joking in here Cadd9/G Em G D but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place G A D G A D Bobby was a wild boy one summer he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer. G A D G A D A He'd do anything one night for a bet he raced through the corn fields in a Corvette. Em G D Cadd9/G Em G D D Cadd9/G Em D I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that with the beautiful girl and be king of the track. Cadd9/G Em G D But the truth is when all was said and done it was his Cobra I wanted the car was the one. Cadd9/G Em G D It was his Cobra I wanted the car was the one. Cadd9/G Em G D The car was the one, Cadd9/G Em G D the car was the one. Cadd9/G Em G D (x3)
