Heyday of the Automobile

---

words and music by Dan Smullyan
©1980 ROLLO

we used to love to make her honey of an engine moan
she was too good to be real
power, speed, and sex appeal
dressed to kill in paint and chrome
what a home away from home...

Chorus:
oh, oh yeah, we used to ride
we used to ride
in the heyday of the automobile

we used to raise some hell on Main Street on the Fourth of July
honk our horns with drunken zeal
kiss the girls and make 'em squeal
it was great to be alive
long as we had cars to drive...[chorus]

Bridge:
we drove everywhere without a care
mountains were mole hills for oil and steel
in the heyday of the automobile

these days i love to go and open up the old garage
sit behind the steering wheel
dream of how it used to feel
drivin' to the lakeside lodge
in a Chevy, Ford, or Dodge...[chorus]
