GTO
Daddy got a job at T.L. James, bought himself a GTO Daddy got a job at T.L. James, bought himself a GTO Had a little baby boy and a pretty wife It was pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life
Horn-rimmed glasses, pocket protector on his shirt Horn-rimmed glasses, pocket protector on his shirt Looked like some uptight, upright, church-going nerd but he loved to hear that carburetor rumble and purr Quick and quiet as a switchblade knife Pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life
Full moon over Woodlawn, full moon over Cedar Grove Full moon over Woodlawn, full moon over Cedar Grove Early next morning Mama put the coffee on Looked out the window and the GTO was gone
Glass in the driveway, skid marks out on the road Glass in the driveway, skid marks out on the road Talking to the cops, say they didn't hear a sound Hot-wire spark, joyride bound Quick and quiet as a switchblade knife Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life
Three days later, the ugly truth was revealed Three days later, the ugly truth was revealed Sergeant called my daddy, said to file a claim “We pulled your GTO out of Cross Lake with a chain
Two black boys done it and we got 'em in the Caddo jail” He said 'it was two black boys done it and we got 'em in the jail' I never knew why it mattered that they were black The GTO was gone it wasn't ever coming back Quick and quiet as a switchblade knife Pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life
Daddy got a job at T.L. James, bought himself a GTO Daddy got a job at T.L. James, bought himself a GTO Had a little baby boy and a pretty wife It was pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life Quick and quiet as a switchblade knife Pedal to the metal to the gettin' good life
