From the recording In The Shadow Of The Mountain
“‘69 Chevelle” is a typical Wentzel Brothers Song, available on the album In The Shadow of The Mountain, which was created by The Wentzel Brothers Band. The lyrics of “69 Chevelle” is about having the car of your dreams. Every member of the band thought that it was one of the coolest cars they could think of. The band knew, while writing the song, that this could be one of the “better” Southern Rock Songs and be a part of the best music in Nashville available today! So the jam began.
Lyrics
"69 Chevelle"
I've been waiting for the last two weeks just to get paid
Get that fifty dollar bill in my pocket and I'll have it made
Been bone dry sense I picked up my new Chevelle
She runs like a top and drives like a bat out of hell
Well I ain't got the money to pay the bills ‘cause I spend it on my new wheels
But the chicks don't dig it when you get your thrills from pickup lines and dirty deals
Boss man's chomping at the bit just to chew me out
But he's the man who signs the check I can't live without
So everyday I end up punching out right around five
Just to go find me a little queen to take for a ride
Well I ain't got the money to pay the bills ‘cause I spent it all on my new wheels
But the chicks don't dig it when you get your thrills from pick-up lines and dirty deals
I've been waiting for the last two weeks just to get paid
‘cause I'm dead broke, got nobody else to blame
I ain't got the money to pay the bills ‘cause I spent it all on my new wheels
The chicks don't dig it when you get your thrills from pick-up lines and dirty deals
