Version 6
She was sitting down at Highway Chevrolet out on Route 3
She was looking like she was waiting just for me
I worked all summer long and I saved my money up
And I went down and I put that money down
In the fall, Billy quit school and wants to do right
I drove him down, rode down together down to Fort Bragg
In the years that he was gone, Billy did the knife
Years he did there, in the refinery and he got on, got along
Oh Chevrolet Deluxe, I bought her with all the accessories
Now I can’t lose out
Another year end gone, and Billy he came home
And what else is there around to do
Up on the ribbon, and as the thing turns out
Now it was our time to settle down
But it was like all of a sudden there was a curse
Things got bad and then they got worse
Hmmm... went the power there down at the mill, did her out
Hmmm, and the thrill when they shut the power down at the mill
We rode her now, and we floored it
Oh Chevrolet Deluxe, I bought her with all the accessories
But I can't keep those payments up
Yeah, Deluxe
Mmm, yeah the world will suck the air, blows right out of me, Chevrolet Deluxe
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Black and white, you were so clear to see
Now when I wake up in the morning I don't know what's happening to me
Yeah
Chevrolet Deluxe, I bought you with all your accessories
But mister I can't keep those payments up
Chevrolet Deluxe, when you let me down you took the heart right out of me
Chevrolet Deluxe
Solo acoustic demo, probably recorded at Telegraph Hill Studio in Holmdel, NJ around September or October 1979.
