Chevy, Take Me to Malibu
Malibu Dreams: A Journey of Freedom and Rusty Blue Roads
Lyrics
4-door automatic with an attitude
Describing a four-door automatic car with a bold personality.
Squeaky breaks and oil leaks
Highlighting issues like squeaky brakes and oil leaks in the car.
But this old car’s been carting me around this small town
Expressing the longevity of the car in serving the singer around a small town.
I’ve been trying to leave since 17
Conveying the desire to leave the town since the age of 17.
They said keep it round town it’ll do just great
Advice received to keep the car within town limits for optimal performance.
But I wouldn’t take it out on the interstate
Decision not to take the car on the interstate due to perceived limitations.
That thing’s not gonna get you very far
Suggesting that the car won't be reliable for long-distance travel.
I said I know it’s not easy on the eyes
Acknowledging the car's unattractive appearance.
And it’s broke down like me a hundred times
Comparing the car's breakdowns to the singer's own struggles.
It’s got a mind of its own but so do I
Emphasizing both the car and the singer having minds of their own.
It’s my Chevy, take me for a drive
Expressing a desire for the Chevy to take the singer on a liberating drive.
I just wanna feel alive
Yearning for a sense of aliveness through the car.
How are you supposed to survive when California’s calling you
Questioning survival when drawn to California's allure.
Chevy, get me out this town
Requesting the Chevy to help escape the current town.
I don’t wanna settle down
Rejecting the idea of settling down.
Guess I’ll see you all around in my old, rusty blue
Anticipating encounters with familiar faces in the singer's old, rusty blue Chevy.
Chevy, take me to Malibu
Reiterating the desire for the Chevy to take the singer to Malibu.
Packed my guitar and threw my bag into the back seat
Packing belongings, including a guitar, into the car.
I know she’ll give it all she’s got
Expressing faith in the Chevy's capabilities.
We might not even make it out to Colorado
Acknowledging the uncertainty of reaching Colorado but willing to try.
But I’m gonna give it a shot
Determined to take a chance and pursue the journey.
Chevy, take me for a drive
Repeating the desire for the Chevy to provide a liberating drive.
I just wanna feel alive
Reiterating the longing for a vibrant, alive feeling.
How are you supposed to survive when California’s calling you
Reflecting on the challenge of resisting California's call.
Chevy, get me out this town
Seeking the Chevy to help leave the current town.
I don’t wanna settle down
Rejecting the idea of settling down once again.
Guess I’ll see you all around in my old, rusty blue
Expecting to encounter familiar faces in the old, rusty blue Chevy.
Chevy, take me to Malibu
Repeating the desire for the Chevy to take the singer to Malibu.
Chevy, take me to Malibu
Reiterating the plea for the Chevy to go to Malibu.
It’s gonna take an all night drive
Highlighting the dedication for an all-night drive.
But I’m in a golden state of mind
Expressing a positive, optimistic state of mind.
Chevy, take me for a drive
Repeating the desire for the Chevy to provide a liberating drive.
I just wanna feel alive
Reiterating the longing for a vibrant, alive feeling.
How are you supposed to survive when California’s calling you
Reflecting on the challenge of resisting California's call.
Chevy, get me out this town
Seeking the Chevy to help leave the current town.
I don’t wanna settle down
Rejecting the idea of settling down once again.
Guess I’ll see you all around in my old, rusty blue
Expecting to encounter familiar faces in the old, rusty blue Chevy.
Chevy, take me to Malibu
Repeating the desire for the Chevy to take the singer to Malibu.
Chevy, take me to Malibu
Final plea for the Chevy to take the singer to Malibu.
