The Lyrics

"Christine was a Plymouth Fury. The Drastic Dodge was a possessed 6-wheel-drive truck. But for pure horror, unadulterated fright, and just plain evil, Nothing comes close to this particular old gray Chevy..."
When the Chevy brakes (it's found me again...)

Faint motor's grumbling, I expect that Chevy to show,
Faint motor rumbling, I know that Chevy will show,
And if the Chevy brakes, I know we will have to go.
It's from hell, from hell, from hell...

Mean old Chevy, taught me to moan and groan,
Mean old Chevy, taught me to shriek and moan,
Got what it takes to burn a modern man out of his home.

Don't you feel real sad,
When you trying to stay alive,
Ain't no place left to go.
If it's gotten real dark,
And you're running for the park,
You'll see that gray El Camino.

Cryin's no help, prayer don't do any good,
Cryin's no help, prayer don't do any good,
When the Chevy shows, Mama, we're doomed for sure.

All last night, I ran from the Chevy and moaned,
All last night, ran from the Chevy and moaned,
There's no time to think, and no place to hide my bones.
Dodging that El Camino,
That El Camino,
I'm doomed, it's got me,
I'm doomed,
I'm doomed now,
I'm doomed...

fortunately I can cruise the ~ El Camino Real ~ without the "El Camino". I love old car songs! And I have owned some real "character cars"in the past . . .
