(the Corvette Song) The One I Loved Back Then Lyrics - George Jones

D G D 

I stopped off at the quicksack for some beer & cigarettes 

G D A 

This old man took my money as he stared at my Corvette 

D G 

He said, I had one just like her son, in 1963 

D A D 

Til' the man down at the bank took her from me 

chorus: 

Oh, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol 

G D 

she was the fastest thing around

G D 

Long and lean every young man's dream 

A 

She turned every head in town 

D 

She was built and fun to handle, 

G 

Son, I'm glad that you walked in 

D A D 

She reminds me of the one I loved back then 

D A D 

Well I handed him my keys and said, here take her for a spin 

G D A 

The old man scratched his head, then he looked at me and grinned 

D G 

He said son you just don't understand it ain't the car I want
