Every band needs to have a car song and this is ours. As we get old, we all seem to appreciate more the things that are vintage. I wonder why. Beep...Beep....

lyrics

The Classic

She's tired of being traded for a newer model
For one who's shinier and firmer on the throttle
Something to be said about a fine old classic
She's utterly and totally real......She's utterly and totally real

You have to stand in line but when you finally see her
Reminds you of a time when you were so much freer
On her side the sign it reads "Just once in a lifetime"
She's something that is sweet and so real,Something that is sweet and so real

CHORUS Tailfins and chrome, a very soft recline
You can see the fine detail
Every curve is smooth and polished to it's finest
For sure her beauty's not,for sure her beauty's not for sale

No longer sits outside and gets left unattended
Never to be left alone or be neglected
No longer taken out upon the open highway
Tired of the toll that she's paid..So tired of the toll that she's paid

Lessons in our life, not always of our choosing
Some are gifts, while others,painful and confusing
Guarding all her travels and her destinations
Power in the way that she's made.Such power in the way that she's made
REPEAT CHORUS

Next time that you think it's time to make a trade in
Think of the old classic that is on display and
Maybe what you're searchin' for is here before you
Some treasures cannot be replaced..Some treasures cannot be replaced
REPEAT CHORUS
