I saw her when I was 17 down at Hansen's Chevrolet
I made up my mind to get her any how, any way
So that whole summer I worked until I had enough
And I put my money down, Chevrolet Deluxe
We drove her into the summer when there was nothing else to do
We rode her when the men came and shut that power down
We drove her down to Bond Street to the unemployment line
We rode her on Main Street ??? and vacancy signs
Oh Chevrolet Deluxe, I bought her with all the accessories
But Mister, I can't keep my payments up
Chevrolet Deluxe, I lost my heart, she too my guts
A quiet song, this was a hint of what was to come on the
Nebraska album. It is a great example of the American
dream, you can get what you want, but you pay back much much more than its worth. And when things appear to be
going well, they can quickly turn sour and everything can be lost.
