Pontiac Lyrics

This is by Fred Eaglesmith. He's from Canada and is a real nice guy. When he played at the bar I work at I asked him about it. He said the song is about his friend's car. He said they used to cruise around in it and get drunk. He said one night he pulled the keys out of the ignition while it was running and lost the keys. They passed out and woke up the next morning to the car still running. hahahaha

It's a Pontiac
It's a '63 Stratochief with a three on the tree
And it belongs to me
And my baby
Her and me
We go driving down old highway seventeen
She puts on the radio
Rolls down the window
Lays her head back
It's a Pontiac

It ain't got no wild horses painted on the side
And the objects in the mirror are precisely their own size
It's got a chrome Indian in front of the door
Might be an Apache or an Arapaho
Or a Pontiac

There was an incident last night
At seventeen and third
It all happened so fast nobody's really sure
But somebody held the rifle, somebody held the sack
And as fast as they were there
Well they were gone just like that
In a Pontiac

The anti-freeze is boiling and the oil pressure's low
And the pedal's to the metal and it's as fast as it can go
And the stain on her shoulder I getting darker you know
And the radio keep blasting out the facts
It's a Pontiac

This one is from The Super Stocks. Probably about 1962ish.

I can't find the lyrics so I'll do the best I can.


Red hot cool with a big chrome tach
Got a 421 with lot of torque in the back
When it comes to power shift I really got the knack
And I've never been beaten in my big widetrack

My wide track
My big wide track

4 on the floor she's ready for some action
I never break lose with my positraction
My dual carbs are thirsty they need more gas
There's nothin on the road that I can't pass

Got the reputation the fastest shift in town
Everyone tries but I always shut them down
Got a 421 with lots of torque in the back
I've never been beaten in my new wide track

Awesome song

Lyle Lovett- Pontiac

I park my pontiac
Down the hill out in back
Late every afternoon
With a coke and a cigarette
And all of the neighbors there
They see a nice old man

And the girl there across the street
She sits on her front porch swing
She never realized
What I told her with my eyes
How back in the second war
I killed twenty German boys
With my own bare hands

And the woman inside my house
She won't stop talking
She never says a thing
She just keeps talking
And I might just leave her still
After the sun goes down
And I smoke this cigarette

I got that record from a friend. I also found it on a CD called "Rare Surf vol. 6"

Your forgetting some Pontiac songs:

Little GTO - Ronny & The Daytonas
Trans Am (Highway Wonderland) - Sammy Hagar (A Favorite of Mine)
Mighty GTO - Jan & Dean
Mustang Sally Bought a GTO - John Lee Hooker

OO0o0 I don't know those. I'll look them up.

I know little GTO

I also found "my little GTO" by jan & Dean. It's different than the other "little GTO"

There's also a song by Paul Revere and The Raiders called "SS396".

The first line is "Forget about you Hemis and your GTOs, I got a new machine and she really goes"

What would Paul Revere know about cars anyways? He rode a horse!

hahahahahaha
