Blue Valiant Lyrics

He held the rest of my life in the palm of his hand
We both got here sooner than both of us planned
We sat in a silence, I swear I could hear
A deafening roar that was hard on the ears
He told me a good boy always does what he's told
Chips off the block don't go breaking the mold
And I said "Yes, Sir."
And he stared out beyond me, through the eyes of a teen
To his baby, his princess, the girl of his dreams
He said "Without wheels you won't get very far"
And "You remember a man by the make of his car."
He told me he loved her and that mother understood
Treat her right, She'll treat you good
I was Valentino

I was Mario Andretti
I was ?Kaylight in the cornage?
I went waving through confetti
Legend before the fall
Bogart before Bacall
I was everything I ever thought I'd ever be
If God gave a gift to women there'd be a ribbon around me
I was gallant, I had talent, when I was
In my old mans, Blue Valiant
Well, I'd grind through her gears
I'd baby her clutch
I'd push her to hard
Oh, I'd ask her too much
She burns through my oil
She eats up my gas
She does zero to sixty in two minutes flat
Shocks are gone
And her heat blows cold
She gets on the highway like she's, growing old
But, I was Valentino
I was Mario Andretti
I was ?Kaylight in the cornage?
I went waving through confetti
Legend before the fall
Bogart before Bacall
I was everything I ever thought I'd ever be
If God gave a gift to women there'd be a ribbon around me
I was gallant, I had talent, when I was
In my old man's, Blue Valiant
There goes a jet black, Cadillac
There goes a plain, Ford Fairlane
There goes a creamy white, Mercury Comet
They've got the top down on the bright yellow Mustang
There goes a raked up, Grand Prix
And a pin striped, GTO
A Firebird, a Thunderbird, a Corvette Stingray
And, Oh my God, would you look at that
There goes a candy red, Camaro
I want that candy red, Camaro
I've always dreamed of being behind the wheel...
But I'm in my old mans
Blue Valiant
Well I'd take a deep breath as her doorbell rings
When I see her my brain can not think of a thing
When I walk towards my old mans, muscle machine
With my baby, my princess, the girl of my dreams
And I said, without wheels we won't get very far
She took a look at my big bag seat and says, yes you will
And I was Valentino
I was Mario Andretti
I was ?Kaylight in the cornage?
I went waving through confetti
Legend before the fall
Bogart before Bacall
I was everything I ever thought I'd ever be
If God gave a gift to women there'd be a ribbon around me
I was gallant, I had talent, when I was
In my old mans, In my old mans, In my old mans
Blue Valiant
Blue Valiant, three on the tree
Blue Valiant, a.m. radio
Blue Valiant, only got one station
Blue Valiant, but that station, was CKLW
