'57 Chevy

Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

crusin' down the street

in a '57 chevy

Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

cruisin' down the street

in a '57 chevy



He reminds me

of James Dean

Really wild

you know what I mean

drivin' like a lunatic

he says the gas pedal sticks

well you know that it ain't so

but it's fun to watch him go



Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

crusin'down the street

in a '57 chevy

Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

cruisin' down the street

in a '57 chevy



He reminds me of James Dean

really wild you know what I mean

drivin' like a lunatic

he says the gas pedal sticks

well, ya know that it ain't so

but it's fun to watch him go



Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

cruisin down the street

in a '57 chevy

Lookin' for action

ya he's ready

cruisin down the street



lookin for action

lookin for action

lookin for action...........

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote these lyrics to music when I fell into a band ages ago...it was the first time I ever wrote lyrics to go with the music, the rest of the stuff I already had the poetry and we fit it with the music we had...this one, the music made me feel the lyrics...pretty cool...one of my faves...

Wow! That is the most amazing poem ever! My dad actually has a 57 Chevy and he loves James Dean! I don't think writing about a car could be any better than this one!!

ah yes, back in the day, I remember it well and a 57 chevy was one hell of a car. They make nothing that can match it today. That and the 67 Mustang. Cruisin for action like James Dean I like that, the individual soul ready to soar no matter what ,its what we all should be.Life is risk ,risk is fun so why worry about it till we see the outcome haha
