Lyrics

People like to talk about the cars they drive
Might be the worst or it could be their first
Maybe a truck or a hot rod ride
I had a Buick Electra 225
A four-door floater with electric seats
And a big block motor my parents gave me
It wasn't cool in my Catholic high school
The rich kids just didn't know what it could do
Like tramp the throttle to a buck fifty-five
Drop all the windows with a switch on the side
Tilt the mirrors and the steering wheel too
With plenty of room in the back seat to screw
I had Peggy Sue, I had Maybelline
I had my sister's best friend, I had the window steamed
Those import cars, they sure look great
But to drive the American dream
Let me tell you what you need
A V8
I'm not saying there ain't good foreign cars
Because I had many and I drove them hard
I had a Datsun and a Subaru
A four-banger Honda and a few Toyotas too
But I like Dodge and Chevy and Ford
With solid lifters and a shift on the floor
318, 350, 302
Those little Japanese rice burners won't do
Thinking back on all the cars I've owned
Across the deserts and the mountains I've roamed
The sweetest car I ever did drive
Is the Buick Electra 225
I had Peggy Sue, I had Maybelline
I had my sister's best friend, I had the window steamed
Those import cars, they sure look great
But to drive the American dream
Let me tell you what you need
A V8
I had Peggy Sue, I had Maybelline
I had my sister's best friend, I had the window steamed
Those import cars, they sure look great
But to drive the American dream
Let me tell you what you need
A V8
Yeah, that Buick Electra 225 sure was cool
I'd float down the highways with the radio going
And my girl nearby blowing smoke out the window
Just cruising and turning heads with my Buick Electra 225
Yeah, I had Peggy Sue, I had Maybelline
I had my sister's best friend, I had the window steamed
Those import cars, they sure look great
But to drive the American dream
Let me tell you what you need
A V8
