Whitewalls and Fenderskirts




Whitewalls and Fenderskirts
by Richard Lawry

Whitewalls spinning down the street
Flashing a smile as we meet
Hubcaps gleaming like a steel guitar
Chasing dreams in my favorite car

Fenderskirts low
The paint it gleams
Every turn a snapshot
A vintage dream
Whitewalls whisper
The night agrees
We're riding
The edge of memories

Fins slicing through the evening air
Tuck and roll seats, fuzzy dice hanging there
Radio crackles with a timeless tune
Under the night sky we race the moon

Lost in the roar of the V/8's song
Time slips away as we drive on

Fenderskirts low
The paint it gleams
Every turn a snapshot
A vintage dream
Whitewalls whisper
The night agrees
We're riding
The edge of memories

Whitewalls and fenderskirts are keeping score
Miles blur, but I crave a little more
Hubcaps and fins are just a ghost
Haunting the past
But these moments
Oh, they're built to last

Fenderskirts low
The paint it gleams
Every turn a snapshot
A vintage dream
Whitewalls whisper
The night agrees
We're riding
The edge of memories

Whitewalls and fenderskirts are keeping score
Miles blur, but I crave a little more
Hubcaps and fins are just a ghost
Haunting the past
But these moments
Oh, they're built to last

Yeah
Whitewalls and fenderskirts
They're built to last
