silver thunderbird

watched it coming up winslow

down south park boulevard

yeah it was looking good from tail to hood

great big fins and painted steel

man it looked just like the bat mobile

with my old man behind the wheel

well you could hardly even see him in all of that chrome

the man with the plan and the pocket comb

but every night it carried him home

and i could hear him saying

don't you give me no buick

son

you must take my word

if there's a god in heaven

he's got a silver thunderbird

you can keep your eldorados

and the foreign car's absurd

me

i wanna go down

in a silver thunderbird

he got up every morning

while i was still asleep

and i remember the sound of him shuffling around

right before the crack of dawn

is when i heard him turn the motor on

but when i got up they were gone

down the road in the rain and snow

the man and his machine would go

oh

the secrets that old car would know

sometimes i hear him sayin'

don't you give me no buick

son

you must take my word

if there's a god in heaven

he's got a silver thunderbird

you can keep your eldorados

and the foreign car's absurd

me

i wanna go down

in a silver thunderbird

ohhh. down the road in the rain and snow

the man and his machine would go

oh

the secrets that old car would know

i still hear him sayin'

don't you give me no buick

son

you must take my word

if there's a god up in heaven

he's got a silver thunderbird

you can keep your eldorados

and the foreign car's absurd

me

i wanna go down

in a silver thunderbird

me

i wanna go down

in a silver thunderbird

ohhh. hi ho silver.
