I held the keys to that old Chevrolet
And you held the keys to my heart
I'd throw a fit, hit the dash, get out and kick the tire when that old piece of junk wouldn't start
It'd be smokin' good, I'd slam down the hood just to see you there laughin' at me on the other side of a dirty windshield lookin' as pretty as you could be

We sure saw a lot of miles, never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn or run out of gasoline
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

In the blink of an eye high school flew by, you went your way I went mine
But we swore we'd make it, our love could take it
400 miles could stand the test of time
I left that fall to play college ball, but my dreams would all come to an end
Cause you know the big leagues never called, and you went and fell in love with him

We sure saw a lot of miles, never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn or run out of gasoline
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

Memories flash through my mind like old faded photographs
I still think about you and that red Malibu and I just can't help but laugh

We sure saw a lot of miles, never even crossed that county line
I would've bet the farm, gave my right arm so you'd always be mine
Did we crash and burn or make a wrong turn or run out of gasoline
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17

Love broke down around 3rd gear and 17
I lost you around 3rd gear and 17
