Mr. Smith Had An Oldsmobile

Kathy Mattea

    Baby blue with wire wheels
    I took her home the day that she was advertised
    He sais she leaked when it would rain
    Sounded like an aeroplane
    But I knew she was a jewel in disguise

    She had a 455 rocket
    Biggest block alive
    I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
    She was made for the straight aways
    She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
    She's a rocket, she was made to burn

    Well whose junkpile piece of C-Chevelle is this?
    You boys come here to race or just kiss?
    Hmmm Don't you want to know what I got underneath my hood
    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

    In my 455 rocket
    The kind the police drive
    I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn
    She was made for the straight aways
    She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
    She's a rocket, she was made to burn

    I'm telling you and I ain't ashamed
    I cried when that wrecker came
    As we skid I thought I hears the angels sing
    We hit the curve and began to sail
    took out most of the saftey rail
    Even the cop asked me, "Man what you have in that thing?"

    I had a 455 rocket
    The very kind you drive
    You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn
    She was made for the straight aways
    She grew up hatin' Chevrolets
    She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn
    Lord she's a rocket, she was made to burn
