Marc Cohn — Silver Thunderbird

[Verse 1] Watched it coming up Winslow Down South Park Boulevard Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood Great big fins and painted steel Man it looked just like the Batmobile With my old man behind the wheel [Pre-Chorus] Well you could hardly even see him In all of that chrome The man with the plan and the pocket comb But every night it carried him home And I could hear him saying [Chorus] Don't you gimme no Buick Son you must take my word If there's a God in Heaven He's got a silver Thunderbird You can keep your Eldorados And the foreign car's absurd Me I wanna go down In a silver Thunderbird [Verse 2] Got up every morning While I was still asleep But I remember the sound of him shuffling around Right before the crack of dawn Is when I heard him turn the motor on But when I got up they were gone [Pre-Chorus] Down the road in the rain and snow The man and his machine would go Oh the secrets that old car would know Sometimes I hear him singing [Chorus] (I can hear him say) Don't you gimme no Buick (You can take my word) Son you must take my word (Me I'm going down) If there's a God in Heaven (Silver Thunderbird) He's got a silver Thunderbird (I still hear him say) You can keep your Eldorados (You can take my word) And the foreign car's absurd (Me I'm going down) Me I wanna go down (Silver Thunderbird) In a silver Thunderbird [Post-Chorus] Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh [Pre-Chorus] Down the road in the rain and snow The man and his machine would go Oh the secrets that old car would know I still hear him saying [Chorus] Don't you gimme no Buick Son you must take my word If there's a God up in Heaven He's got a silver Thunderbird (I still hear him say) You can keep your Eldorados (You can take my word) And the foreign car's absurd (Me I'm going down) Me I wanna go down (Silver Thunderbird) In a silver Thunderbird (Me I'm going down) Me I wanna go down (Silver Thunderbird) In a silver Thunderbird [Outro] Ahhh Ahhh (Hi ho Silver) Ahhh Ahhh (Hi ho Silver) Oh whoa
