D                                       G                D
I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer and cigarettes
    G               D                             A
The old man took my money as he stared at my corvette
   D                                      G
He said, I had one just like her son in 1963
         D                A                 D
Til' the man down at the bank took her from me

CHORUS:

 [nc]
I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
             G              D
She was the fastest thing around
G                    D
Long and lean every young man's dream
                         A
She turned every head in town
         D         
She was built and fun to handle son
                         G
I'm glad that you walked in
                      D      A          D
She reminds me of the one I loved back then


VERSE 2

 D                                        A              D
Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
    G                      D                              A
The old man scratched his head, then looked at me and grinned
         D                                                G
He said, son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
                           D         A        D
It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on
