Big Shiny Cars
Performed by Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros
Written by Davis Raines
C F C F
C F
The boys that I run with
C F
Went down to the Firebird
C Am
They played for three hours
F
And they paid for their beer
C F
And they rastled their devils
C F
For their good friends and neighbors
C Am
They moved them to dance
G C
And sometimes to tears
They sang songs about highways
About strippers and killers
About fingers on Saturn
And lamplight on a vase
They sang songs about love
And songs about Texas (or barbwire)
And some people said
There were ghosts in the place
CHORUS:
G
Shout hallelujah
F C
And sing jambalaya
Am
Shoot for the moon
F G
You wind up amongst the stars
F C
Someday we'll be able
F C
To get a good table
F C
And drive around town
G C
In big shiny cars
F C F
Well it's no bed of roses
When all a man know is
Three chords and a dust cloud
To find himself now
Amongst these high powered brokers
And their lizard skin loafers
And dangerous habits
They just can't put down
CHORUS
F C (acapella)
Yeah we'll drive around town
In big shiny cars
F C F C F C G C
