The Car Was the One
Chasing Thrills: A Tale of Summer '63 and the Irresistible Cobra
Lyrics
In summer '63 I was staying alive
In the summer of 1963, I was trying to survive or make a living.
Hanging at the races, hoping to drive
I was at the racetrack, hoping for a chance to drive.
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
After the weekend activities at the track were over, and cars were being loaded.
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
Since I couldn't get access, I went to the bar instead.
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
I was seated in a corner, nursing a beer.
Who should come laughing and joking in here
Bobby Brown, the winner of a sports car race, entered, laughing and joking.
But Bobby Borwn, the winer of the sports car race
He was accompanied by friends and a girl who caught everyone's attention.
With some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
The girl he was with was very captivating and illuminated the atmosphere.
Bobby was a wild boy, one summer
Bobby was a wild and adventurous person during that particular summer.
He knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
He did something quite daring by knocking down a motel wall using a hammer.
He'd do anything, one night for a bet
He was willing to do anything, like one particular night when he made a bet.
He raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
Bobby raced a Corvette through cornfields, showing his daring nature.
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
I admired the excitement and thrill that came with being like Bobby.
With the beautiful girl and be king of the track
Being with a beautiful girl and being the champion of the track seemed appealing.
But the truth is when all was said and done
However, ultimately, what I truly desired was Bobby's Cobra car.
It was his Cobra I wanted, the car was the one
The car, specifically the Cobra, was what I coveted the most.
It was his Cobra I wanted, the car was the one
Reiterating the desire for Bobby's Cobra car, emphasizing its importance.
The car was the one, the car was the one
The car, particularly the Cobra, held significant importance and allure for me.
