lyrics

Cruise In – Words and music by Phil Klahn

Me, I’m electric, Standard or metric
Trying to get away from all the hectic
Rows and rows and rows and rows of pretty cars

Me and the boys are making noise
Standing on a flatbed with our toys
Background music for all the pretty cars

One by one, they join the fun
Listen to the engines rattle and hum
A lifetime love affair with all the pretty, pretty, pretty…

I’m a babe in the woods
In a land of giants
And I walk among them
Simple minded, obeying silence

T-bucket, A frame, and a Fuelie
Hard top, Blue flame, One ton duelie
Twin Cam, flim flam, thank you ma’am
You sure got a lot of pretty cars

But don’t touch, don’t fuss, don’t shout
Don’t sit on the fender
Or they might just throw you out
It’s car show rules with all the pretty, pretty, pretty…

I’m a babe in the woods
In a land of giants
And I walk among them
Simple minded, obeying silence

Crowds getting thinner, Thanks for the dinner
’57 Packard is the winner
Best in show among all the pretty cars

Here’s to the band, Give them a hand
Stay and give a listen if you can
See you next year with all your pretty, pretty, pretty…

I’m a giant in the woods
With an axe in my hands
Standing ready with the band

Won’t you stay for one last song?
Before you start your travels
But we’re stopped mid-sentence
By the roar of engines and spraying gravel
