I got a beauty in the backyard
She doesn`t look like much I know
But man you should have seen her drive
A couple years ago
We had one foot in the cradle
And the other on the gas
And we would run all night
Tryin` to make each moment last
And we`d ride through the darkness
And sometimes we`d go to far
But the good times rolled away too soon
In my Great Big American Car
Now she`s on broken down condition
And she`s in need of some repair
You know I sure do miss
The shine she used to wear
Well she was all I ever wanted
And I was all she ever had
And we would carry each other
Through times both good and bad
And we`d ride through the darkness
And sometimes we`d go to far
But the good times rolled away too soon
In my Great Big American Car...
In my Great Big American Car...
I got a beauty in the backyard
Well you can call her a dinosaur
But there`s a heart still a-beatin` there
And baby that`s what dreams are for...that`s for sure...
And we`d ride through the darkness
And sometimes we`d go to far
But the good times rolled away too soon
In my Great Big American Car...
In my Great Big American Car...Hey, hey, hey...
