White '57 Chevy

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years of mornings, Fifty years of stars, Built upon a Sunday And a love of fast old cars. I was just fifteen then, With my whole life still to find, When a white '57 Chevy Pulled up and changed my mind. [Chorus] And it's still the same old feeling, Still that skip inside my chest, Still those blue eyes in the doorway, Still the man I love the best. Through every road and season, Every laugh and every tear, Heaven gave me forever The day that you appeared. [Verse 2] Daddy loved your engine, Loved your handshake even more, Told you 'bout the Beeline, And Mama the trophy girl. Mimi smiled at church and whispered, "That's the girl you'll wed," Your Papa told of bicycles And the sidewalks where love spread. [Chorus] And it's still the same old feeling, Still that skip inside my chest, Still those blue eyes in the doorway, Still the man I love the best. Through every road and season, Every laugh and every tear, Heaven gave me forever The day that you appeared. [Bridge] Oh Rick, when my world starts spinning, You bring it back with a corny line, That hillbilly drawl, that quick little grin, Steady hands holding mine. [Verse 3] Daddy, Mimi, Papa, Watched our family take its bloom, And I tell the grandkids stories Of the love that filled each room. I pray they'll carry pieces Of this song when we are gone, How Jodene loved her Rick, And the love just carries on. [Chorus] 'Cause it's still the same old feeling, Still that skip inside my chest, Still those blue eyes in the doorway, Still the man I love the best. [Outro] Fifty years, my Rick, my always, Sweetest road I've ever known.
