D                              C
In summer '63 I was staying alive
Em                                D
hanging at the races, hoping to drive
C
When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars
Em                    G                     D
I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar


C
I'm up in the corner nursing a beer
Em                                      D
who should come laughing and joking in here
C
but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race
Em                             G                   D
with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place


G                    A      D
Bobby was a wild boy - one summer
G                    A           D
he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer
G                 A           D
He'd do anything - one night for a bet
G                      A            D   A
he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette

C
I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that
Em            G                     D
with the beautiful girl and be king of the track
C
But the truth is when all was said and done
Em             G                   D    C
it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
Em             G                   D    C   Em  G
It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one
