The Car Was The One
In summer '63 I was staying alive
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
who should come laughing and joking in here
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
But the truth is when all was said and done
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
The car was the one - the car was the one
O Carro Era o Cara
No verão de 63 eu tava na ativa
na pista de corrida, sonhando em dirigir
Quando acabaram o fim de semana e carregaram os carros
não consegui um passe, então fui pro bar
Tô lá no canto tomando uma cerveja
quem entra rindo e brincando aqui?
mas é o Bobby Brown, o vencedor da corrida de esportivos
com uns amigos e uma garota, cara, ela iluminou o lugar
Bobby era um cara doido - um verão
ele derrubou a parede de um motel com um martelo
Ele fazia qualquer coisa - uma noite por uma aposta
ele correu pelos milharais em um Corvette
Eu pensei que devia ser uma adrenalina ser assim
com a garota linda e ser o rei da pista
Mas a verdade é que quando tudo acabou
era a Cobra dele que eu queria - o carro era o cara
Era a Cobra dele que eu queria - o carro era o cara
O carro era o cara - o carro era o cara
