Lu-[C]cille was a woman and I was a boy,
and it was [F]obvious that she wanted more
Than a [C]man her age could give her and that was [G]me [G]
[C]I was wild as a summer squall,
[F]blowing through town no direction at all
[C]I was wilder than [G]even she could be-[C]lieve [C]


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
I had a [F]Cobra Jet 428 in a [C]’65 Ford and it ran great
[F]Take it on out to where that gravel turns to [C]road [C]
[F]Take it on up to a hundred and ten,
[C]tires screaming in and out of the bends
And [C]Lucille hanging on just as tight as she [G]could [G]↓
And it was [F]cra-a-[G]zy [G]↓ but it sure was [C]good [F] [C] [F]
{eoc}


Lu-[C]cille was fifty and I was nineteen,
and you [F]know it never bothered me
Not [C]even when they called out in the [G]bars [G]
[C]I’d get tough and I’d bust some heads,
Lu-[F]cille would laugh when the cops got there
We’d [C]sneak out the back and [G]take off in my [C]car [C]


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
I had a [F]Cobra Jet 428 in a [C]’65 Ford and it ran great
[F]Take it on out to where that gravel turns to [C]road [C]
[F]Take it on up to a hundred and ten,
[C]tires screaming in and out of the bends
And [C]Lucille hanging on just as tight as she [G]could [G]↓
And it was [F]cra-a-[G]zy [G]↓ but it sure was [C]good [F] [C] [F]
{eoc}


Well [C]last week I turned forty-five,
when [F]I woke up well out in the driveway
My [C]wife had fixed that old car up for [G]me [G]
She [C]had it in the garage for a week or two,
and when I [F]got it back it was good as new
I [C]started it up and I [G]took off down the [C]highway [C]


{c:CHORUS final:}
{soc}
I [F]drove on up to Randolf Heights,
there’s an [C]old folks’ home there past the lights
And [F]Lucille sitting out there in the [C]shade [C]
I [F]wheeled her around to the passenger door,
I [C]picked her up and put her in that car
And [C]we took off like a [G]dustbowl hurri-[C]cane [C]


And that [F]Cobra Jet 428 and that [C]’65 Ford well it ran great
[F]Took it on out to where that gravel turns to [C]road [C]
[F]Took it on up to a hundred and ten,
[C]tires screaming in and out of the bends
And [C]Lucille hanging on just as tight as she [G]could [G]↓
And it was [F]cra-a-[G]zy [G]↓ but it sure was [C]good
|:	[F]   [C]   [F]   [C]↓
