Lyrics

she was sittin' on a car lot looking like a dream, underneath a string of lights, a 49 model and i was sixteen, but i knew it was love at first sight, and the man said, son, i'll make you a deal, and i knew i had to make her mine, i held my breath and slid behind the wheel, it was my very first time, cars, just motors and wheels, rubber and glass and steel, still, i think back over the years, and it sounds strange, i suppose, but it's cars i remember most, she was parked on the street by the first baptist church, as we ran down the steps hand in hand, my brand new chevy waiting there at the curve, and we waved to the crowd and got in, well, the miles went by and so did the years, and i thought that we were doing alright, till she packed up the kids and picked up the keys, and just drove away one night, cars, just motors and wheels, rubber and glass and steel, still, i think back over the years, and it sounds strange, i suppose, but it's cars i remember most, well, the years have gone by and a lot of thing changed, i hardly see the kids any more, took a new job and moved to la, and bought me a two-seater porsche, there's lots of pretty girls out here and you know, i could be doing alright, but mostly at night i just drive up the cost, and look at the city lights, cars, just motors and wheels, rubber and glass and steel, still, i think back over the years, and it sounds strange, i suppose, but it's cars i remember most, cars, just motors and wheels, rubber and glass and steel, still, i think back over the years, and it sounds strange, i suppose, but it's cars i remember most
