Watched him comin' up Winslow down South Park Boulevard
Lookin' good from tail to hood
Great big fins and painted steel

Man it looked just like the Batmobile
With my old man behind the wheel
Well you could hardly even see him in all of that chrome

The man with a plan and a pocket comb
But every night it carried him home
And I could hear him sayin'


Don't you give me no Buick
Girl you must take my word

If there's a God up in Heaven
He's got a silver Thunderbird
You can keep your El Dorado

Man the foreign car's absurd
Me I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird


He got up every morning while I was still asleep
I remember the sound of him shufflin' around

Right before the crack of dawn
Is when I heard him turn his motor on
And 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

Girl you must take my word
If there's a God up in Heaven
He's got a silver Thunderbird

You can keep your El Dorado
Man the foreign car's absurd
Me I wanna go down

In a silver Thunderbird

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
Girl you must take my word

If there's a God up in Heaven
He's got a silver Thunderbird
You can keep your El Dorado

Man the foreign car's absurd
Me I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird

Ah me I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird
