Chevrolet

That steady old Chevy has seen me happy and seen me sad
We cruised through a lot of good times
And rolled out the bad
It'll never see a "For Sale" sign as long as I'm around
Yeah, friends may come, and friends may go, but that Chevy don't let me down. ~ Jeff Bates

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air 2-door

We were running neck and neck
When we reached the overpass
He was pushing that T-Bird
And I heard it make an awful sound
I just laughed and I patted the dash
And said "Chevy don't let me down" ~ Jeff Bates

We can take her nice and slow
A case of beer and it's hell cold
Let the sun sing, good Lord
There ain't no telling where we'll go
In the back of that 90 some Chevy ~ Oliver Anthony

See the USA in your Chevrolet
America is asking you to call
Drive your Chevrolet through the USA
America's the greatest land of all ~ Leo Corday & Leon Carr

Life is completer in a Chevy ~ Leo Corday & Leon Carr

And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy
Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade
Or your freak parade
I'm the only John Wayne left in this town ~ Big & Rich

Like a rock—I was strong as I could be
Like a rock—nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock—I was something to see
Like a rock ~ Bob Seger

• That old darling of mine is like a 90 some Chevy
  She rides just right when you turn her on
  The only thing that sounds better than that old 350
  Is when she's running up to kiss me
  When I get home, it's been a hard day

• Fire red T-Bird made me look a little out of style
  As I sit there in Daddy's old Bel Air
  Lined up for the quarter mile
  Everybody from the high school
  Showed up and gathered round
  I was scared to death and praying to myself
  "Now Chevy don't let me down"

• Becky Joe dropped the towel on the road
  And we both stepped on the gas

  And said "Chevy don't let me down"

• 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
  • Da Yoopers, "Rusty Chevrolet", Culture Shock (1987), written by Jim DeCaire & Joe Potila

• Oh, rust and smoke, the heater's broke
  The door just blew away
  I light a match to see the dash
  And then I start to pray
  The frame is bent, the muffler went
  The radio, it's okay,
  Oh what fun it is to drive
  This Rusty Chevrolet
