Chevrolet Away
by Big Tent Revival

Album: The Way Back Home

There's a boy living in Austin
He wants a girl who won't talk to him
He's got a heart of gold and a love for real
But he ain't got no automobile
He stands out late nights by the curbside
And dreams about the girl on the inside
She wants a man with a Chevrolet
And as he walks back home, you'll hear him say
He'll say

SOMEDAY WE'LL GO OUT AT NIGHT
CHASE THAT COUNTRY HIGHWAY STRIPE
WE'LL GO OUT AND HAVE A TIME, JUST YOU & ME
DOIN' THINGS WE AIN'T THOUGHT OF
WE MIGHT EVEN FALL IN LOVE
OH, THINGS WILL SURE BE DIFFERENT ON THAT DAY
LOVE IS JUST A CHEVROLET AWAY

Well he wrote a letter just to show his feelings
Her reply was less than appealing
But when word got 'round of his devotion
All the girls in town got a curious notion
They said

You never notice a good thing 'til it says goodbye
You don't never miss your water 'til your well runs dry
So don't ever look true love in the eye
And then decide to walk on by

When that boy got his money saved up
The girl stood out on her front porch, made up
Just imagine her surprise
When she saw his truck full of pretty girls fly by!
She said
