57 Chevy

Written by Jake Stilson

When my daddy was a teenager had 10 bucks in his hand 

bought a 57 Chevy from a Vietnam vet thought he was headed for the promised land 

got it up to speed in the middle of the field

 and then he crank the wheel 

and roll that 57 Chevrolet just to see how it would feel

Now if you can’t make it by the skin of your teeth 

you got a hang on by the seat of your pants

 life ain’t gotta be a funky chicken 

it ain’t even gotta be a dance 

you gotta grab the bull by the horns 

and dig your boot heels down 

 know when to let go and when to keep on moving 

you’ll be running when you hit the ground
