the fast car speeds along the avenue and she relaxes at the wheel shell tell you she was born to drive and with a cigarette grey haze she leans into the telling a story of her younger days a summer back in the world back in the dust of 1958 when the motorcycles rode on main street she and her baby sister went to see and stood back of the five and dime marvelling at at the wild men and the chrome machines thouse were the days when the future was brighter and the dream seemed like it could be real this light comes alive in her eye when she speaks of thouse days you can see the years fall away you can almost taste the malted she drank and almost see her in her blue dress there at the five and dime you can see the light in her eyes when she is remembering thouse days the sock hop and the drive thu she is so much a younger soul than i filled with all these beautiful memories and as we drive down the hutchinson river parkway middle of the night in the pouring rain robert gordon on the radio i think to myself that she's right she was born to drive and i was born to be with a girl like her oldsmobile cutlass 440 was her car i was her man .and rockabilly was her music
