Muscle Car Blues (Tell Me Another)
by Joe Fahey
it was the motor trend mag car of the year in 1965
now it's up on concrete blocks, in the backyard of your mind
i got 15 minutes of freedom left on this time clock break
my television's broke, and man, i need the escape
oooh, tell me another
oooh, tell me another
tale from your fictional past
when the girls were easy and the cars were fast
and 25 cents bought you a gallon of gas
it had 375 detroit horses, 400 pounds of torque
396 cubic inches to prove you weren't a dork
did zero to 60 in 6.7, 12.2-quarter mile
and when you passed by those blurry girls you could see their blurry smiles
oooh, tell me another
oooh, tell me another
tale from your fictional past
when the girls were easy and the cars were fast
and 25 cents bought you a gallon of gas
fix it again tony, found on road dead
these acronyms for mechanical failure seem to echo through your head
gonna flood that engine, gonna make her drown
this must be your 19th viscosity breakdown
had impact extruded pistons, molybdenum coated rings
posi traction and 4-bolt mains and some other technical things
had a high-lift, long-duration cam that could keep it up all night
and when you squawked 'em in second gear, everything just worked out right
oooh, tell me another
