Cali_KR Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Check out this new song from Mark Knopfler's 2009 "Get Lucky" CD (from Dire Straits fame). "The Car Was The One" In summer sixty three I was staying alive Hanging at the races, hoping to drive When they were done with the weekend and loading the cars I couldn't get a pass so I went to the bar I'm up in the corner nursing a beer Who should come laughing and joking in here But Bobby Brown, the winner of the sports car race With some friends and a girl, man, she lit up the place Bobby was a wild boy, one summer He knocked down a motel wall with a hammer He'd do anything, one night for a bet He raced through the cornfields in a Corvette I thought it's got to be a thrill to be like that With the beautiful girl and be king of the track But the truth is when all was said and done It was his Cobra I wanted, the car was the one It was his Cobra I wanted, the car was the one The car was the one The car was the one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Canfield Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 That was awesome. I had to make an appropriate video in my mind, but it's probably better than anything the record producers would do anyway. Mark is a truly talented performer, and had put out good stuff for years.
