Lyrics from the MIDI .kar music file

Mister Smith had an Oldsmobile
Baby blue, with them wire wheels
I took her home the day that she was advertised
He said she leaked when it would rain
And sounded like an aeroplane
But, I knew she was a jewel in disguise

She had a four fifty five rocket
Biggest block alive
Couldn't hardly wait, just to take my turn
She was made for the straight aways
She grew up hating chevrolets
She's a rocket, she was made to burn

Well, who's junk pile piece of chevelle is this?
You boys come here to race or just kiss?
Now don't you wanna know what I got underneath my hood?
Now I know she may sound like she's missin'
But, buddy, she could teach you a lesson
Just a quarter mile and I'LL smoke you good

In my... four fifty five 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 hating chevrolets
She's a rocket, she was made to burn
"INSTRUMENTAL"
I'm telling you, and I ain't ashamed
I cried when that wrecker came
As we skid, I thought I heard the angels sing
Sounded like the Beach Boys

We hit the curve and began to sail
Took out most of the safety rail
Even the cop asked me,
"Man, what'd you have in that thing!?"
I had a four fifty five rocket
The very kind you drive
You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn
'Cause she was made for the straight aways
She grew up hating chevrolets
She's a rocket, she was made to burn, burn
Lord,She's a rocket, she was made to burn
