Shelby '65 Songtext
Screamin' through the pass in a cannonball flash
Half-lit, hell-on-wheels
Jesse's got a Mustang with four-on-the-floor
And Joanie's got it head-over-heels
Jesse & Joan were just flesh & blood
But that car was American steel
That's a bad combination when you're 17
With all your time to kill
Half-lit, hell-on-wheels
Jesse's got a Mustang with four-on-the-floor
And Joanie's got it head-over-heels
Jesse & Joan were just flesh & blood
But that car was American steel
That's a bad combination when you're 17
With all your time to kill
But they got the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
They must've wrecked that car a half-a-dozen times
Gettin' by without a scratch
But when the wheels come off the ground this time
They shatter through the front glass
But they got the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
That Mustang rolled going 104
But somehow they made it out alive
And their wounds have healed into nice, big scars
They'll keep the rest of their lives
Now that hot rod Ford's just a junkyard heap
And those kids are now 35
And they cross their chest to their God and their flesh
For outlivin' that '65
They had the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
They had the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
The kind of luck that rolls
Those sevens every time
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
They must've wrecked that car a half-a-dozen times
Gettin' by without a scratch
But when the wheels come off the ground this time
They shatter through the front glass
But they got the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
That Mustang rolled going 104
But somehow they made it out alive
And their wounds have healed into nice, big scars
They'll keep the rest of their lives
Now that hot rod Ford's just a junkyard heap
And those kids are now 35
And they cross their chest to their God and their flesh
For outlivin' that '65
They had the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
Livin' out their lives
Like they're Bonnie & Clyde
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
They had the Devil by the tail
And an Angel on their side
The kind of luck that rolls
Those sevens every time
With the thunder of a Shelby '65
