Purple Gto

D

[Verse 1]
            D
Well, I was riding around, I was cutting the town
                        A
In my daddy's old Oldsmobile

It's a faded out red, the motor's half dead
                    D
No hubcaps on the wheels

[Verse 2]
            D
Well, I was being laughed at by all my friends from school
                               A
The young girls were looking away

That's when I made up my mind
                                                       D
I had to get my own ride and I saw it coming home that day

[Chorus]
         D
A Purple GTO, Purple GTO
                            A
Yeah, it's the only car for me

I wanna hear my daddy say he'll help me find a way
                         D
To get into the drivers seat

[Verse 3]
          D
I took my daddy back with me
                                                     A
the very next day and it looked better than it did before

Well, it was jacked up in back, it had Cragar Chrome Mags
                            D
And a Hurst shifter on the floor

[Verse 4]
            D
We rang the front door bell, you know we talked to that man
                                 A
About the car I had my heart set on

I could see in daddy's eyes when I asked him the price
                              D
That I wasn't gonna drive it home

[Chorus]
         D
A Purple GTO, Purple GTO
                            A
Yeah, it's the only car for me

I wanna hear my daddy say he'll help me find a way
                         D
To get into the drivers seat

[Verse 5]
               D
Cause this old Oldsmobile is on its last leg
                            G
I gotta find another way to go
       A
I want all the girls to see that it's really me
                D
In my Purple GTO

[Solo]

[Verse 6]
  D
A week went by and then a month or two
                               A
That car was still beside the road

I said Daddy let's go by and see if we can try
                            D
To talk him into letting it go

[Verse 7]
        D
So they dickered for a while, and then I saw that man smile
                                   A
It was an offer that he couldn't refuse

And now I drive it every day down to the pick and pay
                                      D
Tryin' to sell some old ladies some shoes

[Chorus]
        D
In that GTO, Purple GTO
                            A
Yeah, it's the only car for me

And though my daddy wouldn't pay he helped me find a way
                         D
To get into the drivers seat

[Verse 8]
    D
And if you see me coming in your rear view mirror
                                    G
Then you'd better not be going too slow
  A
I ain't got time for cruisin', if I'm late I might be losing
                     D
This little Purple GTO

        A
Well, I ain't got time for cruisin', if I'm late I might be losing
   A  N.C.
My little Purple GTO
