Fire [A] Red, T-Bird, [B] baby, look a little [Em] out of style
As I sit there [A] in daddy's old Bel Air, [B] lined up [A] for the quarter [E] mile
Everybody [A] from the high school [B] showed up and [E] gathered round
I was scared to death [A] and praying to myself, [B] now, Shabby, [A] don't let me [E] down
Becky Jo [A] dropped the towel in the [B] road and the boy stepped on [E] the gas
We were [A] running neck and neck [B] when they loosed [E] the overpass
He was [A] pushing that T-Bird [B] and I heard him make an [E] awful sound
Well, I just [A] laughed and I patted the gas [B] and said, Shabby, [A] don't let [E] me down

It's been [A] known for run [B] hots, put her out from [E] time to time
And that's just what it did [A] on an old dirt road [B] with Becky Jo [A] sitting by [E] my side
While we waited [A] for it to cool [B] off, things heated up [E] all around
Yeah, I might have missed [A] that very first kiss, [B] but said, [A] Shabby, don't let [E] me down
