Silver Thunderbird Songtext
von Marc Cohn

Watched it comin′ up Winslow down South Park Boulevard
It was lookin' good from tail to hood
Great big fins and painted steel
Man, it looked just like the Batmobile
With my old man behind the wheel
Well, you could hardly even see him in all of that chrome
The man with the plan and the pocket comb
But every night it carried him home
And I could hear him sayin′

Don't you give me no Buick
Son, you must take my word
If there's a God in Heaven
He′s got a silver Thunderbird
You can keep your Eldorados
And the foreign cars absurd
Me, I wanna go down
In a silver Thunderbird


Got up every mornin′ while I was still asleep
But I remember the sound of him shufflin' around
Right before the crack of dawn
Is when I heard him turn the motor on
But when I got up they were gone
Down the road in the rain and snow
The man and his machine would go
Oh, the secrets that old car would know
Sometimes I hear him sayin′

(I can hear him sayin')
Don′t you give me no Buick
(You can take my word)
Son, you must take my word
(Me, I'm goin′ down)
If there's a God in Heaven
(In a silver Thunderbird)
He's got a silver Thunderbird
(I still hear him sayin′)
You can keep your Eldorados
(You can take my word)
And the foreign car′s absurd
(Me, I'm goin′ down)
Me, I wanna go down
(In a silver Thunderbird)
In a silver Thunderbird


Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

Down the road in the rain and snow
The man and his machine would go
All the secrets that old car would know
I still hear him sayin'

Don′t you give me no Buick
Son, you must take my word
If there's a God up in Heaven
He′s got a silver Thunderbird
(I still hear him sayin')
You can keep your Eldorados
(You can take my word)
And the foreign car's absurd
(Me, I′m goin′ down)
Me, I wanna go down
(In a silver Thunderbird)
In a silver Thunderbird
(Me, I'm goin′ down)
Me, I wanna go down
(In a silver Thunderbird)
In a silver Thunderbird

Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah (Oh, silver Thunderbird)
Ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah (Oh, silver Thunderbird)
