Correction Lyrics 455 Rocket (Revival Outtake) by Gillian Welch

Back

Lyrics

Mr. Smith had an oldsmobile
Baby blue with them wire wheels
I took her home the day that she was advertised

He said she leaked when, it would rain
And sounded like an aeroplane
But I knew she was a jewel in disguise

She had a 455 Rocket
The biggest block alive
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn

She was made for the straight aways
She grew up hating Chevrolets
She's a Rocket, she was made to burn

Whose junkpile piece of Chevelle is this?
You boys come here to race or just kiss?
Don't you wanna know what I got underneath my hood?

I know she might sound like she's missing
But buddy, she could teach you a lesson
In just a quarter mile, and I'll smoke you good

In my 455 Rocket
The kind the police drive
I couldn't hardly wait just to take my turn

She was made for the straight aways
She grew up hating Chevrolets
She's a Rocket, she was made to burn

It curved, then began to sail
Took out most of the safety rail
As we skid I thought I heard the angels sing

I'm telling you, I ain't ashamed
I cried when that wrecker came
Even the cop asked me "Man, what'd you have in that thing?"

I had a 455 Rocket
The very kind you drive
You oughta watch yourself when you take that turn

[Chorus
'Cause she was made for the straight aways
She grew up hating Chevrolets
She's a Rocket, she was made to burn

Lord, she's a Rocket she was made to burn
