Drive-By Truckers - Steve McQueen lyrics

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I
Wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone motherscratcher on
The silver screen

I'd drive real fast everywhere no
One would ever catch me
And I'd kick your ass if you pissed me
Off so be careful what you ask me
And I'd never have an empty
Bottle or an empty bed
And as cool as Paul Newman is I
Bet Steve could whup his head

Steve McQueen when I was a little boy I
Wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone motherscratcher on
The silver screen


Now, Bullitt was my favorite movie
That I'd ever seen
I totaled my go-cart tryin' to
Imitate that chase scene
That Mustang had six hubcaps
Know what I mean?
And I love the way they all flew
Off when it landed in that ravine

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I
Wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone motherscratcher on
The silver screen

Now, I really loved The Getaway
Back when I was eight
That pussy Alec Baldwin sucked in the remake

And speakin' of pussy
I guess Steve got it all
He fucked Faye Dunaway and
He fucked Ali MacGraw

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I
Wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest goddamn motherfucker on
The silver screen (yee haw)

I went to see The Hunter on my first date
The Hunter was the last movie
Steve McQueen lived to make
They took my drivers license when
I was just sixteen
The year Mesothelioma killed Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I
Wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest goddamn motherfucker on
The silver screen
The coolest goddamn motherfucker on
The silver screen
The coolest goddamn motherfucker on
The silver screen
The coolest goddamn motherfucker on
The silver screen

Steve McQueen!
