LYRICS: (i've written out every word he says)
an old Chevy. make me a... make me a
an old Chevy. make me a... make me a

where in the world would i go
how do i explain your body to the rest of my day
not as good as the interstates are
i just can't take you that far. away. so stay.
make me a... make me a... make me a... an old Chevy
make me a... make me a... an old Chevy
make me a... make me a... an old Chevy
where in the world would i go
how do i explain your body to the rest of my day
not as good as the interstates are
i just can't take you that far.
maybe dick clark and davey and davey and davey
move a car but not as good as the interstates
not as good as the interstates are
i just can't take you that far. away. so stay.
