Lyrics for Blue & Chrome:
Blue & Chrome
written by Paul Rosendahl
I used to have a job make toothpicks outa logs
But I got so tired of chopping down the trees
Every night when I drive home be out there all alone on that boulevard of life for all to see
Well, I took a lotta pride in my ride but I cried when this shiny truck pulled right up next to me
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
Its got me right where I wanna be (ladies: Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
Maybe someday they'll have a truck for me
Well as soon as I got home I got on the telephone And I made a call to see who was in charge (ladies: Who was in charge)
He was a man about 43 (ladies: ooh, ooh) but as far as I could see (ladies: Ooh, ooh)
They called him Colonel but he looked more like a sarge (ladies: Looked more like a sarge)
He said grab a broom, grab a mop start from the bottom and work to the top make these trucks as shiny as can be (ladies: Shiney as can be)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
Its got me right where I wanna be (ladies: Wanna be) Can't ya see (ladies: Can't ya see)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chrome)
Ridin' high in style and luxury...
(Instrumental interlude)
(Ladies: oooooooh)
Well I'm as happy as can be and I'd drive these trucks for free
'Cause when they get dirty, they make 'em look pretty and just wash 'em up for me (ladies: Wash 'em up for me)
I'm out here on the road most each and every night
Just turn up your radio, turn it up loud (guy: You can hear me say -That's right!)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
Its got me right where I wanna be (ladies: Wanna be) Can't ya see (ladies: Can't ya see)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chrome)
Ridin' high in style and luxury (ladies: Luxury)
That's for me (ladies: That's for me)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chrome)
Maybe someday they'll have a truck for me.
There's Colonel and Bags and Mr. Lee,
Dusty Rose and Double D,
Kool Kat, Bear and Johnny Express,
Give me a time and I'll get the rest.
Cactus, Ben and Overdrive,
Waterboy's coming that ain't no jive.
Bashful, Donkey and Gravy Train,
Peanut Brittle can't remember his name.
There's Moose and Spyder for goodness sake
Bunky ain't here he's at Willow Lake.
Early Bird and Little John,
JJ and Doc and Tag-a-long.
Curly, Sidewinder and Lickity Split,
Deputy and Sw***er and that's not it.
There's Wallbanger, Dutch and Old Shotgun.
All these boys are lots of fun.
During the week they make their home
Ridin' high in that Blue and Chrome.
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
It's got me right where I wanna be (ladies: Wanna be) Can't ya see (ladies: Can't ya see)
Blue and Chrome (ladies: Blue and Chome)
Ridin' high in style and luxury...
