Sweet Little '66
Sweet Little '66: A Tale of American Pride and Nostalgia
Lyrics
Now I'm a pretty big man around this town
Expressing significance and influence in the town.
I got me the hottest little Chevy around
Boasting about owning an attractive Chevrolet.
My sweet little '66
Referring affectionately to his 1966 model Chevy.
She got a yellow front fender and a gray one on the back
Describing the car's appearance with a yellow front fender and a gray one at the back.
But my income tax is comin' and I'm gonna paint her black
Anticipating a financial boost from income tax to repaint the car black.
Sweet little '66
Reiterating affection for his 1966 Chevy.
She got the three ninety-six, she got the four on the floor
Listing the car's features, including a powerful engine and a manual transmission.
And those stickers in the window ain't just for show
Asserting that the window stickers are not just for display.
My sweet little '66
Repeating admiration for the 1966 Chevy.
Now old Bubba and me built her back in '79
Narrating the history of building the car with someone named Bubba in 1979.
Then he went into the army so now she's all mine
Explaining that Bubba joined the army, leaving the car solely in the narrator's possession.
Sweet little '66
Reaffirming affection for the 1966 Chevy.
I used to run her down on River Road and make a little dough
Recalling driving the car on River Road to earn money.
Can't afford another ticket so I'm laying kinda low
Admitting caution due to financial constraints and previous traffic violations.
Me and my '66
Emphasizing the connection between the narrator and his '66 Chevy.
Now she ain't too good on gasoline, she burns a little oil
Acknowledging the car's fuel inefficiency and oil consumption but highlighting its American origin.
But she was built by union labor on American soil
Expressing pride in the car being built by union labor in the United States.
Sweet little '66
Reiterating affection for the 1966 Chevy.
So when your Subaru is over and your Honda's history
Suggesting a future scenario where other cars, like Subaru and Honda, become obsolete.
I'll be blastin' down some back road with my baby next to me
Envisioning a future of joyfully driving with his partner.
In my sweet little 66
Reaffirming the narrator's love for his '66 Chevy.
