George Jones - (The Corvette Song) The One I Loved Back Then lyrics

rate me

D G D

I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer & cigarettes

G D A

This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette

D G

He said, I had one just like her son, in 1963

D A D

Til' the man down at the bank took her from me

chorus:

Oh, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol

G D

she was the fastest thing around

G D

Long and lean every young man's dream

A

She turned every head in town

D

She was built and fun to handle,

G

Son, I'm glad that you walked in

D A D

She reminds me of the one I loved back then

D A D

Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin

G D A

The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned

D G

He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want

D A D

It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on

chorus:

repeat chorus:

repeat last line of chorus:
