Mark Knopfler - The Car Was The One lyrics

rate me

In summer '63 I was staying alive <br />hanging at the races, hoping to drive <br />When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars <br />I couldn´t get a pass so I went to the bar <br /> <br />I'm up in the corner nursing a beer <br />who should come laughing and joking in here <br />but Bobby Borwn, the winer of the sports car race <br />with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place <br /> <br />Bobby was a wild boy - one summer <br />he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer <br />He'd do anything - one night for a bet <br />he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette <br /> <br />I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that <br />with the beautiful girl and be king of the track <br />But the truth is when all was said and done <br />it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one <br />it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one <br />The car was the one - the car was the one<br /><br />
