Now Favorite Lyric
So we've had favorite driving songs etc etc before, but this is a bit more specific. What is your favorite line from a song about cars? Any car type. Here are some of mine:
Hot Rod Lincoln: With a four barrel carb and dual exhausts
With four-eleven gears you can really get lost
Got safety tubes, but I ain't scared
The brakes are good, the tires fair
Black Sunshine (White Zombie): The wheels of his Mustang exploding on the highway like a slug from a 45.
Cadillac Ranch:

Cadillac Ranch:
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark shiny and black
Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur
Meatloaf: I can see paradise by the dashboard light
Highway Star: Nobody's gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground, Nobody gonna beat my car, It's gonna break the speed of sound, Ooooh, it's a killing machine,m It's got everything.
Joplin: Oh, Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
Kraftwerk: Wir fahren fahren fahren auf der autobahn

Tom Petty - Runnin Down a Dream
Yeah runnin' down a dream
that never would come to me
workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
runnin' down a dream
That was exactly what i was doing when i bought Lady sight-unseen, halfway across the country and drove her home.

I'm In Love With My Car Taylor
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine,
With the pistons a pumpin', and the hubcaps all gleam.
When I'm holding your wheel,
All I hear is your gear,
When my hand's on your grease gun,
Oh it's like a disease son,
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile,
Get a grip on my boy racer rollbar,
Such a thrill when your radials squeal.
Told my girl I just had to forget her,
Rather buy me a new cartburettor,
So she made tracks sayin' ths is the end now,
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine

So she made tracks sayin' this is the end now
Cars don't talk back they're just four wheeled friends now
When I'm holding your wheel
All I hear is your gear
When I'm cruisin' in overdrive
Don't have to listen to no run of the mill talk jive
I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile
I'm in love with my car, string back gloves in my automobile
The machine of a dream, such a clean machine.

Beach Boys - Little Deuce Coupe
Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head milled.
Well, she'll walk a Thunderbird like she's standin' still.
She's ported and reamed and she's stroked and bored,
She'll do a hundred and forty in the top end floored...
She's got a competition clutch with four on the floor,
And she purrs like a kitten 'til the lake pipes roar,
And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid,
Just one more thing, "I've got the pink slip, daddy".
I'm comin' off the line when the light turns green,
Well, she blows them out of the water like you've never seen.
I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer,
when I get rubber in all four gears...
I can only dream this!

Darker stuff, but Swimming Pool Q's had a great line in "Corruption"
"The very last thing he saw was a back plate with his name
And the vapors in those taillights made vipers' tongues seem tame"
And one they wrote about a 66 Buick Wildcat-
"Powerful engine with a powerful roar, I get religion when it's on the floor!"
Cracker's "Teen Angst" has the best I think.
"I don't know what the world may need but a V8 engine's a good start for me, I think I'll drive myself somewhere to be surly"
And there are any number of songs, old and new, that mention our beloved Oldsmobiles.

"I can't drive 55!" - Sammy Hagar 
One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!
Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass, no!
So I tried my best illegal move
A big black and white come and crushed my groove again!
CHORUS:
Go on & write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license n' all that jive
I can't drive É 55! Oh No! Uh!
So I signed my name on number 24, hey!
Yeah the judge said, "Boy, just one more
I'm gonna throw your *** in the city joint"
Looked me in the eye, said, "You get my point?"
I said "Yeah!, Oh yea!"
CHORUS II:
Write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license, all that jive
I can't drive É 55!
Oh, yea!I can't drive 55! (four times)Uh!
(Solo)When I drive that slow, you know it's hard to steer.
And I can't get my car out of second gear.
What used to take two hours now takes all day.
Huh - It took me 16 hours to get to L.A.!
CHORUS:
Go on & write me up for 125
Post my face, wanted dead or alive
Take my license n' all that jive
I can't drive 55!
No, no, no, I can't drive...(I can't drive 55!)I can't drive... (I can't drive 55!)I can't drive 55!
One foot on the brake and one on the gas, hey!

2 of my favorites...
ZZtop She don't love me
She don't love me she loves my automobile.....
She don't love me she loves my automobile.....
She would do just about anything to slide behind the wheel.
She said whats it gonna take for you to lay your top on down
I said honey why don'tcha ask when we hit the outskirts of town....
She don't care if i'm stoned or sloppy drunk
I said she don't care if i'm stoned or sloppy drunk
As long as shes got the keys and theres a spare wheel in the trunk!
Stray cats- Look at that cadillac
Well, wake up in the morning, brush my teeth and comb my hair
Well, I wake up in the morning, I brush my teeth and comb my hair
There's a big black cadillac parked on the street over there
Well it's the finest lookin' car, that ever rolled of the line
Any other car would just be wasting your time
Ooh one fine day I'm gonna make a cadillac mine
I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do
Well I got a job, down at the liquor store
Well I got me a job down at the liquor store
Oooh I ain't lazy but I don't wanna work no more
When I get my paycheck I put it right in the bank
I'm putting all my money straight right in the bank
Well I'm halfway to get my big black cadillac tank
I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do
Sittin' in a bar knockin' 'm back
Up pulls a big black cadillac
Out steps a kitten, stand back cats
Away I go in that cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too
If it's the last thing I do
I gotta get a cadillac
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Look at that cadillac, look at that
Rock and rolling down the avenue, I'm gonna get me a cadillac too

Racing in the streets - The Boss
I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie heads and a Hurst on the floor
She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the Seven-Eleven store
Me and my partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he rides with me from town to town
We only run for the money got no strings attached
We shut 'em up and then we shut 'em down
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em off in my first heat
Summer's here and the time is right
For goin' racin' in the street
We take all the action we can meet
And we cover all the northeast state
When the strip shuts down we run 'em in the street
From the fire roads to the interstate
Some guys they just give up living
And start dying little by little, piece by piece
Some guys come home from work and wash up
And go racin' in the street
Tonight, tonight the strip's just right
I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats
Calling out around the world, we're going racin' in the street
I met her on the strip three years ago
In a Camaro with this dude from L.A.
I blew that Camaro off my back and drove that little girl away
But now there's wrinkles around my baby's eyes
And she cries herself to sleep at night
When I come home the house is dark
She sighs "Baby did you make it all right"
She sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She stares off alone into the night
With the eyes of one who hates for just being born
For all the shut down strangers and hot rod angels
Rumbling through this promised land
Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And wash these sins off our hands
Tonight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our way mister you best keep
'Cause summer's here and the time is right
For goin' racin' in the street

(Cross Canadian Ragweed) song= Number album= Soul Gravy
"I got my foot down on the throttle/ Hands around the bottle, I think my speakers are blown/ No rubber on my tire, I'm a getting higher, higher than I've ever known."
(Meatloaf) song= Objects in the Rearview Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are
"We were racing, We were soldiers of fortune. We got in trouble, but we sure got around. There are times I think I see him peeling out in the dark. I think he's right behind me now and he's gaining ground. But it was long ago, and it was far away, oh God it seems so very far. And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car. And objects in the rearview may appear closer than they are............
(Wade Bowen) song= One Step Closer album= Lost Hotel
"My windshield's cracked, just like my heart. My tire's are all flat, just like my brain. My engine's running rough, just like my soul. Don't know how much longer we can go burning this much oil. So let's burn all the bridges, ignore all the signs, put the hammer down and listen to her whine. Don't know where we went wrong. But it's one step closer to you being gone."

im sure none of you ever heard this one , Ode to Harry.....Harry got in his car and turned the key...started it up and headed down the L.I.E...to cheap to own a real car , he owned a Volkswagon rabbit...and that would put an end to Harry's cheap habit...the trucker couldnt stop , so the driver took aim...and when he hit Harry , Harry burst into flames....your dead now Harry , you cant come back , you'd still be alive if you drove a Cadillac.

Another Springsteen track:
"Wings for Wheels" written in 74, before it was titled "ThunderRoad"
...this 442 she's gonna overheat
make up your mind girl
I gotta get her back up on the street....
Racing in the Streets 1978 ( from the newly released Promise set ) is the best track Springsteen ever wrote.

Red Barchetta - Rush
Premise is that in the future "motorcars" are outlawed (may not be far from the truth...)
My uncle has a country place that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law
And on Sundays, I elude the eyes, hop the turbine freight
To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits
Jump to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline
Then run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine
But down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years, to keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time
Ooh, fired up the willing engine, responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime
Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge
Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

I'm gettin' bugged driving up and down the same old strip
I gotta find a new place where the kids are hip
My buddies and me are getting real well known
Yeah, the bad guys know us and they leave us alone
I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I'm a real cool head
Get around round round I get around
I'm makin' real good bread
Get around round round I get around

Get around round round oooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo
Wah wa ooo
We always take my car cause it's never been beat

And we've never missed yet with the girls we meet
None of the guys go steady cause it wouldn't be right
To leave their best girl home now on Saturday night
I get around
Get around round round I get around
From town to town
Get around round round I get around
I'm a real cool head

I'm makin' real good bread
Get around round round I get around

Beep Beep - The Playmates
While riding in my Cadillac,
What to my surprise.
A little Nash Rambler was following me -
About one third my size.
The guy must've wanted to pass me up
As he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn.
Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!
His horn went beep beep beep. Beep! Beep!
I pushed my foot down to the floor
To give the guy the shake.
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind;
He still had on his brake.
He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn. Beep! Beep!
I'll show him that a Cadillac
Is not a car to scorn.
Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!
His horn went beep beep beep. Beep! Beep!
My car went into passing gear
And we took off with gust.
Soon we were doing ninety -
Must've left him in the dust.
When I peeked in the mirror of my car,
I couldn't believe my eyes:
The little Nash Rambler was right behind -
I think that guy could fly.
Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!
His horn went beep beep beep.
Now we're doing a hundred and ten -
This certainly was a race.
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy
Would be a big disgrace.

Beep beep. Beep! Beep! Beep beep. Beep! Beep!
His horn went beep beep beep.
Now we're doing a hundred and twenty -
As fast as I could go.
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow.
The fellow rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear,
"Hey, Buddy, how can I get this car
Out of second gear!"
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

Red Barchetta - Rush
Premise is that in the future "motorcars" are outlawed (may not be far from the truth...)
My uncle has a country place that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law
And on Sundays, I elude the eyes, hop the turbine freight
To far outside the wire, where my white-haired uncle waits
Jump to the ground as the turbo slows to cross the borderline
Then run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine
But down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty odd years, to keep it as new has been his dearest dream
I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time
Ooh, fired up the willing engine, responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime
Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge
Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

More Springsteen- from Born To Run-
"Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines."
First time I heard that I was sitting in a McDonald's parking lot, in my 70w, Born To Run had just come out. Truly an epic moment for me that I will never forget...
