From the recording It's a Very Good Life
Lyrics
YELLOW MUSTANG
Dianne Bochsler
chorus
I’ve got he keys to my daddy’s Yellow mustang
A tape of Janis singing the blues
I’ve got the pedal to the floor
You won’t see me anymore
I’m putting distance between me and you
I’ve always had a thing for a fast engine
The kind to take me where I want to go
When I first met you I said Let’s see what you can do
But your RPMs were set too low
Since I was sweet sixteen I’ve loved this Mustang
It’s got all that it takes under the hood
You never were my speed
You lack the horsepower that I need
I’ll find a gear that makes me feel good
chorus
You said you knew just how to make me happy
You thought I had my sights set on your star
But my eyes were on mag wheels and fuel injection
My heart belongs to Daddy’s yellow car
Lucky for me daddy never liked you
He said you were too weak around the knees
He said, son you just forget her
My daughter can do better
Then he offered me one fine set of keys
chorus
