What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I held the keys to that old Chevrolet
2
And you held the keys to my heart
3
I'd throw a fit, hit the dash,
4
Get out and kick the tire
5
When that old piece of junk wouldn't start
6
It'd be smoking good I'd slam down the hood
7
Just to see you there laughing at me
8
On the other side of a dirty windshield,
9
Lookin' as pretty as could be
10
[Chorus]
11
We sure saw a lot of miles,
12
Never even crossed that county line
13
I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
14
So you'd always be mine
15
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
16
Or run out of gasoline?
17
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
18
In the blink of an eye high school flew by
19
You went your way and I went mine
20
But we swore we'd make it,
21
Our love could take it
22
Four hundred miles could stand the test of time
23
Well I left that fall to play college ball,
24
But my dreams would all come to an end
25
'Cause you know the big leagues never called,
26
And you went and fell in love with him
27
[Chorus]
28
Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
29
I still think about you in that red Malibu
30
And I just can't help but laugh
31
We sure saw a lot of miles,
32
Never even crossed that county line
33
I would've bet the farm, given my right arm
34
So you'd always be mine
35
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn
36
Or run out of gasoline?
37
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
38
Love broke down around 3rd gear and 17
39
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
