gillian welch - 455 rocket (revival outtake) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
mr. smith had an oldsmobile
baby blue with them wire wheels
i took her home the day that she was advertised

[verse 2]
he said she leaked when, it would rain
and sounded like an aeroplane
but i knew she was a jewel in disguise

[bridge]
she had a 455 rocket
the biggest block alive
i couldn’t hardly wait just to take my turn

[chorus]
she was made for the straight aways
she grew up hating chevrolets
she’s a rocket, she was made to burn

[verse 3]
whose junkpile piece of chevelle is this?
you boys come here to race or just kiss?
don’t you wanna know what i got underneath my hood?

[verse 4]
i know she might sound like she’s missing
but buddy, she could teach you a lesson
in just a quarter mile, and i’ll smoke you good

[bridge]
in my 455 rocket
the kind the police drive
i couldn’t hardly wait just to take my turn

[chorus]
she was made for the straight aways
she grew up hating chevrolets
she’s a rocket, she was made to burn

[verse 5]
it curved, then began to sail
took out most of the safety rail
as we skid i thought i heard the angels sing

[verse 6]
i’m telling you, i ain’t ashamed
i cried when that wrecker came
even the cop asked me “man, what’d you have in that thing?”

[bridge]
i had a 455 rocket
the very kind you drive
you oughta watch yourself when you take that turn

[chorus
’cause she was made for the straight aways
she grew up hating chevrolets
she’s a rocket, she was made to burn

[outro]
lord, she’s a rocket she was made to burn
