Song written about when I rebuilt my first car.
Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Verse
Well I get back to thinkin’
My first car wasn't no lincoln
Beat up ole 396 chevrolet super sport
I was a mere seventeen
That broken motor didn't mean anything
To naive to understand I had my own two hands
PreChorus
First time for everything
So I tore that motor apart
In that ole metal shed with the gravel bed
But one day I knew I'd light her up
Chorus
Yeah those were magic days
I dreamed of driving away
As the sun went down I would cruise around
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Yeah just me and the boys
Out with our brand new toy
All Filled with pride in a hot rod ride
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Verse
Happened one hot summer day
Under the car port in the driveway
One hand gripped on the wheel and my fingers squeezing the key
Eyes wide open and jaws droppin'
When that big block started a popping
Screaming and jumpin' all around with teary eyes and a greasy face
PreChorus
Spread through the neighborhood
It fired up its running good
Mom came out and cried filled with pride
Man that tore me up
Chorus
Yeah those were magic days
I dreamed of driving away
As the sun went down I would cruise around
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Yeah just me and the boys
Out with our brand new toy
All Filled with pride in a hot rod ride
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Break
Chorus
Yeah that was a magic day
At 18 I drove away
As the sun went down and I would cruise around
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Yeah just me and the boys
Out with our Brand new toy
All Filled with pride in a hot rod ride
On a Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Sweet Summer Chevy Night
Sweet Summer Sweet Summer Chevy Night
