CHEVY VAN
Sammy Johns
I gave a girl a ride in my wagon
She rolled (crawled?) in and took control
She was tired and (yeah?) her mind was a-draggin'
I said, "Get some sleep and dream of rock and roll."
Refrain:
Like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
She's gonna love me in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me
Her young face was like that of an angel
Her long legs were tanned and brown
Better keep your eyes on the road, son
Better slow this vehicle down
Refrain
I put her out in a town that was so small
You could throw rocks (a rock?) from end to end
A dirt-road Main Street, she walked off in bare feet
It's a shame I won't be passin' through again
'Cause like a picture she was layin' there
Moonlight dancin' off her hair
She woke up and took me by the hand
We made love in my Chevy van
And that's all right with me
