Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sixty-six fastback sitting in the barn
Six cylinders humming like a lazy charm
Pa handed down the keys and a wrench and the rust
Said everything worth having starts with a little dust
Yeah I got grease under my nails and oil on my jeans
Tuning that old motor till she roars and shakes a scream
[Pre-Chorus]
Round the county line we tear
Every pulley every gear
She ain't much til she runs straight
Then she's king of the interstate
[Chorus]
Crank her up let her sing six in a row
Triple carbs and butterflies gonna let her go
Dust cloud behind us thunder up ahead
Racing for the moon with a 66 instead
Hand on the wheel heart in the sky
Been chasing this burn my whole sweet life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh rev her high
Sixty-six she flies
[Verse 2]
Flats lie under headlights still warm
She pulls the quarter mile like a summer storm
Lap the gravel loop till the tires turn blue
Every second she reminds me just what I'm made of true
Yeah I could buy her modern glitz from a showroom floor
But nothing sings the highway like a vintage roar
[Pre-Chorus]
Round the county line we tear
Every pulley every gear
She ain't much til she runs straight
Then she's king of the interstate
[Chorus]
Crack her up let her ring six in a row
Triple carbs and butterflies gonna let her go
Dust cloud behind us thunder up ahead
Racing for the moon with a 66 instead
Hand on the wheel heart in the sky
Been chasing this burn my whole sweet life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh rev her high
Sixty-six she flies
[Bridge]
Some folks buy their speed off a lot
Me I earn every bolt I've got
Ten years and these calloused palms
A heartbeat born from old-school farms
[Chorus]
Fire her up let her wail six in a row
Triple carbs and butterflies gonna let her go
Dust cloud behind us thunder up ahead
Racing for the moon with a 66 instead
Hand on the wheel heart in the sky
Been chasing this burn my whole sweet life
[Post-Chorus]
Oh rev her high
Sixty-six she flies
