Mark Knopfler - The Car Was the One lyrics
[Mark Knopfler - The Car Was the One lyrics]
In summer sixty three I was staying alive
Hanging at the races, hoping to drive
When they were done with the
Weekend and loading the cars
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
Who should come laughing and joking in here
But Bobby Brown
The winner of the sports car race
With some friends and a girl, man
She lit up the place
Bobby was a wild boy, one summer
He knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
He'd do anything, one night for a bet
He raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
I thought it's got to be a
Thrill to be like that
With the beautiful girl and be
King of the track
But the truth is when all was said and done
It was his Cobra I wanted
The car was the one
It was his Cobra I wanted
The car was the one
The car was the one the car was the one
Hanging at the races, hoping to drive
When they were done with the
Weekend and loading the cars
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
Who should come laughing and joking in here
But Bobby Brown
The winner of the sports car race
With some friends and a girl, man
She lit up the place
Bobby was a wild boy, one summer
He knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
He'd do anything, one night for a bet
He raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
I thought it's got to be a
Thrill to be like that
With the beautiful girl and be
King of the track
But the truth is when all was said and done
It was his Cobra I wanted
The car was the one
It was his Cobra I wanted
The car was the one
The car was the one the car was the one
