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 BatmobileWith 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 ThunderbirdYou can keep your El Dorado
Man, the foreign car's absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a silver ThunderbirdGot up every mornin'
While I was still asleep
I remember the sound
Of him shufflin' aroundRight before the crack of dawn
Is when I heard him turn his motor on
And when I got up, they were goneDown 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 ThunderbirdYou can keep your El Dorado
Man, the foreign car's absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird, yeahDown 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 ThunderbirdYou can keep your El Dorado
Man, the foreign car's absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a silver ThunderbirdOh, me I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird
