Once I had a 'vette, quick on the gas
Soon wrecked that 'vette, much broken glass
Got another 'vette, only to find
I wrecked it too, life's so unkind.
Street racing cars - I did it all the time
Was so much fun, on some one else's dime
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
My folks mistrust how I unwind.
In between
I had this little Honda and I was feeling fine
But with slow speed driving there's no peace of mind
If you think I'm racing you, it's just no good, you driving like you do
[Refrain]
Once I had a 'vette, quick on the gas
Soon wrecked that 'vette, much broken glass
Got another 'vette, only to find
I wrecked it too, life's so unkind.
Street racing cars - I did it all the time
Was so much fun, on some one else's dime
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
My folks mistrust how I unwind.
(Can I) get a ride?
I lost my license and now I cannot drive
I'm the one who's losing please don't push me aside
We could have made it cruising, yeah
Yeah - oops there's a cop's bright bluish light
[Refrain]
Once I had a 'vette, quick on the gas
Soon wrecked that 'vette, much broken glass
Got another 'vette, only to find
I wrecked it too, life's so unkind.

It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
My folks mistrust how I unwind.
