Curtis Paul Campbell: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Running down the beach in Coronado has always spawned great lyrics for my songs...55 Chevy is a song about making it in the front seat of my car with my girlfriend while heading down south to the Rib Shack located on Highway 71 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Rib Shack is one of the most famous "Smokehouses" in this area of the country and is known for it's great smoked ribs and the great blues bands that play in the back of the restaurant on the patio out by the old brick smokehouse.

55 Chevy Tank Full of Gas, I gotta a hand full of woman making time real fast. well 2 young lovers got nothing to lose, going to Rib Shack Alley to hear some smokehouse blues, two young lovers just 17 havin a ball ya know what I mean... I got to the club about 11 o'clock that juke joint was jumping they were ready to rock I was blowing my harp looking at the door I seen a pretty little thing scooting across the floor, well she grabbed my hand pulled me off the stage, she looked me in the eyes we did a 2 step boogie now dance with me baby. She dragged me home about 5 am my Rooster was crowing I was chasing a Hen, I got up to leave about 6:15, her Daddy was standing there ya know what I mean, shotgun wedding was on his mind I jumped out the window in the nick of time. Well over the hill in overdrive hand in hand side by side past a 69 Plymouth he was some kind of nerd blew his doors off the road well he flipped me the bird smoking and drinking all day long going to Rib Shack Alley Highway 71. She put the pedal to the metal she was shifting my gears she was smoking my tires she was licking my ears well she red lined my tack about a hundred and two pop my clutch and turned me loose, we were heading down south earning our wings she down shifted hard and I started to scream! She's so good looking if you know what I mean prettiest little girl I ever seen she was ready for love and I was ready to fly you do a 2 step boogie when your living your life, she's so good looking if you know what I mean prettiest little girl I think I ever seen.
