Another country song:


BRAND NEW CHEVELLE
As recorded by Paul Nipper on "Rumble Strips" (2016)

Standin' there in the sideways rain, I read the letter you wrote.
Said Vietnam had done us in; I understand you...(?)
When I got off the back plane, I didn't know which way was up.
I knew which way the dealership was and I fired it up.

CHORUS: I got a brand-new Chevelle; I went on down the line.
Got a brand-new Chevelle, boys, I left her mem'ry behind.
Got a brand-new Chevelle, yeah, and headed out to the track.
Got a brand-new Chevelle, and I ain't lookin' back.

Two white stripes outlined in the prettiest shade o' blue,
And an engine just strong enough to outrun a woman like you,
And the leather bucket seats for my new girl to sit between.
She's long, Bubba; she's fast, and, boy, she's mean. CHORUS

Lakeside Drive it don't look the same without you.
Neither does my drivin' arm with this simple fine tattoo.
Uncle Sam didn't pay me much to walk through them rice fields,
And now that I'm back, he don't care about how I feel.
To tell the truth, I don't think about it much anymore.
Ain't had much time lookin' back when I got my foot to the floor.

CHORUS: In a brand-new....
