Lyrics
SIXTY FIVE C3 ROADSTER
Verse One
She?s a Sixty Five C3 Roadster with a stock, big block,
Heat coated side pipes and Carrera stainless steel shocks,
Rochester fuel injection and a big V8,
Bearin? down on the frame bracket stud plate,
She?s my free-wheelin?, low-kneelin?, sweet feelin?
Mean machine.
Verse Two
I?ll be burnin? up the blacktop, behind her tilt-column wheel,
Flamin? on the freeway, strain the head gasket seal,
Tearin? through the turnpike,
Listenin? to her tires squeal,
She?s my free-wheelin?, low-kneelin?, sweet feelin?
Mean machine.
Bridge
Edelbrock valve covers underneath her hood,
She?s roarin? down the road a little louder that a lady should.
Custom chrome plated wheels roll her into a stop,
With the sun shinin? through her weather-stripped T Top,
She?s my free-wheelin?, low-kneelin?, sweet feelin?
Mean machine.
Verse Three
Hungry for High Test, the octane makes her burner boil.
Four hundred twenty seven horsepower set to uncoil,
I?ve seen all the cars, but I ain?t seen yet,
Any one outdo a Chevrolet Corvette,
She?s my free-wheelin?, low-kneelin?, sweet feelin?
Mean machine.
