Crank Her In The Dark

Verse 1

She's parked out in the driveway, looking rough around the bends

A little rust on the body, but she's a traveler's best friend

You gotta pump the pedal twice just to get a little spark

And she makes a lot of noise when you crank her in the dark

The suspension's pretty loose, she takes a beating on the road

But you oughta see her move when she's carrying a load

Chorus

Oh, she's hard to start, but she runs all night

You gotta pump the gas and hold the choke just right

She leaks a little fluid when you get her on the highway

She don't care about the speed limit, we're doing it my way

A little grease on the hands, a little rattle in the frame

She's a beat-up old Chevy, but she handles just the same

Verse 2

Took her down to the mechanic, said my timing was a blur

He got down underneath the hood to make the engine purr

He said your pistons are a-pounding, your tailpipe's running hot

You're shifting gears too fast in the grocery parking lotYou gotta check the dipstick regular, keep the pressure in the lines

If you want to keep her humming through the turns and the signs

Chorus

'Cause she's hard to start, but she runs all night

You gotta pump the gas and hold the choke just right

She leaks a little fluid when you get her on the highway

She don't care about the speed limit, we're doing it my way

A little grease on the hands, a little rattle in the frame

She's a beat-up old Chevy, but she handles just the same
