Eight Track Tapes

VERSE;
My baby and me were packin' up our things movin' to a smaller place
We ran across some boxes stacked back in our storage space
She yelled at me from across the room, said baby come look at these
It was a great big crate of eight track tapes Bringin' back old memories and we'd go
CHORUS;
Cruisin' through the countryside Proud Mary cranked up loud Heard Steppenwolf's Magic Carpet Ride for we were Born To Be Wild
Dirt-road dancin' in the headlights to Unchained Melody
I wished that cars still played eight track tapes
VERSE;
I remember our first date where I was late by an hour or more
I come blastin' out some Twist And Shout When her Daddy charged though the door
Them paralyzin' eyes sure put the fear of God in me
As she slid across that bench seat and she snuggled up against me, and we went-
REPEAT CHORUS;
BRIDGE;
I saw a bright red Monte Carlo for sale like the one I used to have
I checked it out that's when I found that eight track in the dash
Slipped Skynyrd in Free Bird begin to bring that car to life
You should'a seen her eyes light up when I pulled up in the drive and we went
REPEAT CHORUS;
TAG;
Lord, I finally found a car that plays eight track tapes-G flat minor
I Found a car plays eight track tapes
Eight track tapes
