Pat Buckna - Johnny Was a Chevy Man

Johnny was a Chevy man
Man he loved his cars
You can't beat a Chevy, he'd say with pride
Ford's will two-bit you, they're a terrible ride
But my brand new Impala's got a powerglide
Man he loved his cars

Johnny was a Chevy man
He took good care of his cars
Off each week to the Rocket Car Wash
A wax and a polish with a super soft cloth
Johnny was a Chevy Man
He took good care of his cars

Johnny was a working man
He laboured his whole life
Had no use for those bosses in the office
Didn't give a damn about profits or losses
Johnny was a working man
Who laboured his whole life

Johnny was a quiet man
Never had much to say
Lost his first family in an ugly divorce
Abandoned by the church, filled with remorse
Johnny was a broken man
Who kept things to himself

In the years that mattered what I wanted most
Was something he couldn't give
An encouraging voice, an outstretched hand,
Something other than a reprimand
Something to help me understand
I mattered as much as those cars

Dad was a Chevy man
Boy he loved his cars
Those cars meant more than I ever did
If he cared at all he surely kept it hid
Dad was a Chevy man
Boy he loved his cars

Today I drive a Chevy
But it's just a car
Gets me to places where I need to go
It's old and it's rusted, and I don't really know
How much longer it can stay on the road
But it's just a car

Dad was a Chevy man
Man he loved his cars
