Intro: G x4 D C In summer '63 I was staying alive D hanging at the races, hoping to drive C When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars D I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar C I'm up in the corner nursing a beer D who should come laughing and joking in here C but Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race D with some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place
D Bobby was a wild boy - one summer D he knocked down a motel wall with a hammer D He'd do anything - one night for a bet A he raced through the cornfields in a Corvette D C I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that D with the beautiful girl and be king of the track C But the truth is when all was said and done C it was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one G It was his Cobra I wanted - the car was the one G The car was the one G The car was the one G x2
