The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song)

I stopped off at the Quicksack for some beer and cigarettes The old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette He said, "I had one just like her, son, a 1963 'Til the man down at the bank took her from me" Oh, she was hotter than a two-dollar pistol She was the fastest thing around Long and lean, every young man's dream She turned every head in town She was built and fun to handle, son I'm glad that you dropped in She reminds me of the one I loved back then Then, I handed him my keys and said, "Here, take her for a spin" The old man scratched his head and then he looked at me and grinned He said son, "You just don't understand, it ain't the car I want It's the brunette in your 'Vette that turns me on" I had one that was hotter than a two-dollar pistol She was the fastest thing around Long and lean, every young man's dream She turned every head in town She was built and fun to handle, son I'm glad that you dropped in She reminds me of the one I loved back then Lord, she was hotter than a two-dollar pistol She was the fastest thing around Long and lean, every young man's dream She turned every head in town She was built and fun to handle, son I'm glad that you dropped in She reminds me of the one I loved back then She reminds me of the one I loved back then
