George Jones – (The Corvette Song) The One I Loved Back Then lyrics

D G D
I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer & cigarettes
G D A
This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette
D G
He said, I had one just like her son, a 1963
D A D
Til' the man down at the bank took her from me

chorus:

I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
G D
she was the fastest thing around
G D
Long and lean every young man's dream
A
She turned every head in town
D
She was built in from the handles
G
Son, I'm glad that you walked in
D A D
She reminds me of the one I loved back then

D A D
Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin
G D A
The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned
D G
He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
D A D
It's the brunette in your vette that turns me on

chorus:
repeat chorus:
repeat last line of chorus:
