The “Corvette Song” is one of those classic tunes that just makes you smile as soon as it starts. It’s playful, full of swagger, and gives you a sense of carefree fun. If you’ve ever taken a drive in a shiny sports car or even just daydreamed about it, this song instantly connects with that spirit of freedom. Released by George Jones, also known as “The Possum,” the song brings together his signature honky-tonk style with a cheeky story that’s hard to resist. The “Corvette Song” is not just about a car—it’s about identity, status, and how those elements play into attraction and desire.
There’s a story in here too—a lighthearted tale of a man whose car seems to define him. And let’s be real, we all know someone like that! What makes this song so lovable isn’t just the humor, but the way it ties into a bigger cultural love affair with cars and what they represent in American life. It’s relatable in a way that sticks with you, even after the last note fades. Every listen gives you a little grin, like you’re in on a great joke that never gets old.
With George Jones’s unmistakable voice at the helm, the song has that authentic country charm that pulls you right in. It’s fun, it’s cheeky, and it’s the kind of song you want to blast on the open road with the windows down

Lyrics
I stopped off at the Quicksack
For some beer and cigarettes
The old man took my money
As he stared at my Corvette
He said, “I had one just like her son in 1963
‘Til the man down at the bank took her from me”
Oh, She was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean, every young man’s dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle, son
I’m glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
Then, I handed him my keys and said
“Here take her for a spin”
The old man scratched his head, and
Then he looked at me and grinned
He said, “Son you just don’t understand
It ain’t the car I want
It’s the brunette in your ‘vette that turns me on”
I had one that was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean, every young man’s dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle, son
I’m glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
Lord, she was hotter than a two dollar pistol
She was the fastest thing around
Long and lean, every young man’s dream
She turned every head in town
She was built and fun to handle, son
I’m glad that you dropped in
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
She reminds me of the one I loved back then
