Motor City Steel

[Chorus]

Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford

Or you could drive a Chevy

Or a Jimmy if you really like

A mountain of fun, the USA-1

A Motor City Steel

You got to give the power to the people

[Verse 1]

Travis and Ricky, relationship is tricky

But Ricky is a girl who wants to see the world

But Travis is a boy, boys like a toy

The Ram with a straight axle way off the board

Singin'

[Chorus]

Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford

Or you could drive a Chevy

Or a Jimmy if you really like

A mountain of fun, the USA-1

A Motor City Steel

You got to give the power to the people

[Verse 2]

At the country dance, wearin' tiny pants

Ricky's tellin' everyone how they was made in France

And Travis thinks it's funny, dancin' with his honey

Talkin' 'bout how tiny French pants cost so much money

[Bridge]

Alright, now this here's a sad and bleedin' part of the story

'Cause, well, Ricky's a good girl

She worked hard, she saved up her money

She bought herself a stack of American Express Travelers Checks

And a one-way ticket to Charles de Gaulle Paris International Airport

And then she told Travis

"Honey, I ain't goin' for good, I'm just goin'"

[Verse 3]

Day she had to fly, said she wouldn't cry

Travis cried a little, he was caught in the middle

Of a girl with a dream since she was a teen

A boy and a truck

"Darlin', good luck" (Oh)

[Chorus]

Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford

Or you could drive a Chevy

Or a Jimmy if you really like

A mountain of fun, the USA-1

A Motor City Steel

You got to give the power to the

Oh my lord, you could drive a Ford

Or you could drive a Chevy

Or a Jimmy if you really like

A mountain of fun, the USA-1

A Motor City Steel

You got to give the power to the people
