I knew him from my homeroom class

He was the quite type

But when he'd smile my whole world stopped

Savin up his money to buy himself a car

The day he signed the title somethin deep inside him changed
C F G C
Later that same day he asked me out on our first date

F C G C F
Lookin back I can't believe he might not have given it a whirl
C F G
if it wasn't for that cherry red 69 Firebird
Chorus:
F
That Firebird had changed his world from the inside out
C G
Made him believe he could achieve what he'd only dreamed about
F
Put her in drive and let her fly no place he couldn't go
C G
And all his doubt was drown out by the blarin radio

He was strong as all 300 horses in his hand

That Firebird had turned my quiet boy into a man
