a banjo player crafted a song about a lead foot driving a Chevelle with a 502... the lyrics aren't bad, but the video is just awful




Well Leadfoot Leadfoot racing from the sun
Got a 502 in an old Chevelle, he's letting' them ponies run

Leadfoot Leadfoot carrying' a heavy load
Now don't you step out in the way when he's racing down the road

Well I heard old Leadfoot coming from a mile and a half away
I stepped out on the street there and here's what I had to say

I said "hey now, hey now, slow that old thing down
This city ain't your highway and you're tearing up my town"

Now Leadfoot Leadfoot racing from the sun
Got a 502 in an old Chevelle, he's letting' them ponies run

Well late last night I heard the crash from up by Yeoman's Hill
It was the feeling I had all along

I knew he'd finally killed himself in that old car
And I ran down to see the risin' flame

Just then I realized I never even knew his name
Just called him Leadfoot Leadfoot racing from the sun
Had a 502 in an old Chevelle, he was letting' them ponies run

  1. "Sweet Little 66" by Steve Earle is a good song about a Chevelle.

    Sweet Little '66
    Song by
    Steve Earle, The Dukes
    Now I'm a pretty big man around this town
    I got me the hottest little Chevy around
    My sweet little '66
    She got a yellow front fender and a gray one on the back
    But my income tax is comin' and I'm gonna paint her black
    Sweet little '66
    She got the 396, she got the four on the floor
    Those stickers in the window ain't just for show
    My sweet little '66
    That old Bubba and me built her back in '79
    Then he went into the army, so now she's all mine
    Sweet little '66
    I used to run her down River Road, make a little dough
    Can't afford another ticket, so I'm laying kinda low
    Me and my '66
    She got the 396, she got the four on the floor
    Those stickers in the window ain't just for show
    My sweet little '66
    Now she ain't too good on gasoline, she burns a little oil
    She was built by union labor on American soil
    Sweet little '66
    So, when your Subaru is over and your Honda's history
    I'll be blastin' down some back road with my baby next to me
    In my sweet little '66
    She got the 396, she got the four on the floor
    Those stickers in the window ain't just for show
    My sweet little '66
    She's got the 396, she got the four on the floor
    Those stickers in the window ain't just for show
    My sweet little '66
    My sweet little '66
    My sweet little '66
    My sweet little '66
