In summer 'sixty-three I was staying alive          hanging at the races, hoping to drive.

                                                          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

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.

                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.
