Silver Thunderbird (Remastered) (2006 Remaster)

Silver Thunderbird (2006 Remaster) - MARC COHN

Watched it comin' up Winslow down south park boulevard

Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood

Great big fins and painted steel

Man it looked just like the batmobile

With my old man behind the wheel

Well you could hardly even see him

In all of that chrome

The man with the plan and the pocket comb

But every night it carried him home

And I could hear him sayin'

Don't you gimme no buick

Son you must take my word

If there's a God in Heaven

He's got a silver thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorados

And the foreign car's absurd

Me I wanna go down

In a silver thunderbird

He got up every mornin' while I was still asleep

But I remember the sound of him shufflin' around

Right before the crack of dawn

When I heard him turn the motor on

But when I got up they were gone

Down the road in the rain and snow

The man and his machine would go

Oh the secrets that old car would know

Sometimes I hear him sayin'

Don't you gimme no buick

Son you must take my word

If there's a God in Heaven

He's got a silver thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorados

And the foreign car's absurd

Me I wanna go down

In a silver thunderbird

Down the road in the rain and snow

The man and his machine would go

Oh the secrets that old car would know

I still hear him sayin'

Don't you gimme no buick

Son you must take my word

If there's a God up in Heaven

He's got a silver thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorados

And the foreign car's absurd

Me I wanna go down

In a silver thunderbird

Me I wanna go down

In a silver thunderbird
