Grandaddy’s Chevrolet Lyrics by Brandon Davis (Country)

2024

[Verse 1]
My granddaddy was a runner
Drove a ‘57 Chevrolet
He ran shine for his brothers
Spotted my grandmother
Saying it put him in the grave
Couple of generations later
It got passed to my cousin and me
We ran that firewater
Cross the Carolina border
To them towns down in Tennessee
Might’ve been the burning
Of them white wall tires
Or the chance we could get caught
But under the cover of the midnight moon
I swore we had it all
[Chorus]
When we would drive
Hearts like Detroit steel
Couldn’t feel more alive
That asphalt paved a path to freedom
We were somewhere red lining on a prayer
Between heaven and hell to pay
We were thunder in the dark
White lightning in a jar
In granddaddy’s Chevrolet
[Verse 2]
She’d shine like a brand new copper built still
Still rolls like she's fresh off the line
Just a little old grocery getter
Law never knew no better
Hiding in plain sight
And a twenty gallon tank
Where the spare used to sit
And a switch you’d flip to hide the plate
And when the sun went down
Them horses came out
Kill the lights, cut the curves
Hit the gas, forget the breaks
[Chorus]
When we would drive
Hearts like Detroit steel
Couldn’t feel more alive
That asphalt paved a path to freedom
We were somewhere red lining on a prayer
Between heaven and hell to pay
We were thunder in the dark
White lightning in a jar
In granddaddy’s Chevrolet
[Verse 3]
In granddaddy’s Chevrolet
On a late night run
As the weather went south
We were hauling down white bridge road
We hit that curve as the rain came down
And only one of us made it back home
Now it’s gone and all I want
[Chorus]
Is to drive
Hearts like Detroit steel
Couldn’t feel more alive
That asphalt paved a path to freedom
We were somewhere redlining on a prayer
Between heaven and hell to pay
We were thunder in the dark
White lightning in a jar
In granddaddy’s Chevrolet
