Original Songs

Along for the Ride ('56 T-Bird)
Performer: John Denver
Songwriter: Danny O'Keefe · Bill Braun
Released: June 1986
Featured Car: Ford Thunderbird
I had a ’56 T-Bird, then I was king of the highway.
Trying to make it look fast and easy and dreaming of doing it my way.
Let’s put the top down, baby, feel the wind in our hair.
We were too young to know better and to cool to care.
Blue Chevrolet
Performers: The Beat Farmers
Songwriter: Paul Kamanski
Released: 1986 (Van Go)
Featured Car: Chevrolet
He's the king of the cobras, a pavement hound;
He plays upon a waitress at the Space Lodge Lounge.
In walks 'no shoes no service' as the plates hit the ground;
Her two-weeks notice just blew into town.
Buy Me A Car

I called my baby and said;
My eyes are heavy, my feet are lead.
Wish there was something to do;
Like driving' into the night with you.

Gonna take this car for a little spin.

Dashing through the snow, in my Rusty Chevrolet;
Down the road I go, sliding all the way.
I need new piston rings, I need some new snow tires;
My car is held together by a piece of chicken wire.
