Could've had a V-8
Marc-Alan Barnette

I've been thinking it's a doggone pity
Just look at what I'm driving around this city
Fourteen hundred pounds of recycled aluminum
Computer driven micro car of the new milinium

I've got me a photograph of my old man
Standing by his Barracuda looking young and tan
Back when cars were cars, men were men,
If I'd ve' been alive back then

Chorus
I could've had a V-8
With a four on the floor
Drop dead cherry red like my daddy had in 64'
But you can't go back,
Not even in a Caddilac
But if I could, you know I would
Could've had a V-8

Back then you drove around in a thoroughbred stallion
Didn't have to worry bout' getting miles to a galleon
But now I wonder everytime I get behind the wheel
What happened to the chrome and steel?

Chorus
Bridge
Vinyl, plastic, safety glass, unleaded fuel
Ain't no substitute for cool

Chorus
