Chrome, Curves & Trouble [September Remix Challenge]

+ Show full styles

[Intro – dirty electric guitar riff, engine revving in the distance]

Yeah…
Chrome on the street,
Trouble in heels,
And I got no idea
How she makes me feel.

[Verse 1 – laid-back boogie, guitar fills between lines]

She rolled up slow in a Cadillac red,
Whitewall tires and a scarf on her head,
Sunglasses shining, cherry-red lips,
One little smile and my coolness slipped.

She stepped out laughing, boots on the ground,
Every guy in the parking lot turned around,
I tried to lean back like a king on his throne,
Then I fell off the hood of my own car.

[Short guitar lick]

Yeah, real smooth, Romeo.

[Pre-Chorus – building drums and guitar]

She said, “Honey, you coming or not?”
I said, “Baby, I'm trying to remember where I parked.”

[Chorus – huge, catchy blues-rock hook]

Chrome, curves and trouble,
She's got me seeing double,
Hot little spark in a gasoline town,
She turns my whole world upside down.

Chrome, curves and laughter,
She's the trouble I'm chasing after,
I got a fast car and a foolish grin,
She looks at me and I lose again.

[Verse 2 – heavier boogie groove]

She's got a jukebox heart and a midnight stare,
Leather jacket hanging off one shoulder bare,
She knows every trick that a good girl knows,
And every bad idea a good man chose.

We cruise downtown with the radio loud,
She waves at the boys and they whistle proud,
I said, “Baby, you sure love causing a scene.”
She said, “Honey, you should see me when I'm mean.”

[Instrumental Break – crunchy guitar riff, bass groove, handclaps]

[Pre-Chorus – playful vocal]

She said, “You call that driving?”
I said, “Girl, I'm saving gas.”
She said, “You're not saving anything.”
Then she hit the pedal and left me in the past.

[Chorus – bigger guitars]

Chrome, curves and trouble,
She's got me seeing double,
Hot little spark in a gasoline town,
She turns my whole world upside down.

Chrome, curves and laughter,
She's the trouble I'm chasing after,
I got a fast car and a foolish grin,
She looks at me and I lose again.

[Bridge – stripped-down guitar and bass, humorous delivery]

She's got a pin-up smile,
A devil's little laugh,
A pair of high-heeled boots
And a foot down on the gas.

I got a leather jacket,
A comb inside my jeans,
She says I'm looking dangerous…

I said, “Baby, that's just the hair cream.”

[Drums kick back in]

[Extended Electric Guitar Solo – dirty blues bends, slide accents, screaming sustained notes]

[Final Chorus – full band, double guitars]

Chrome, curves and trouble,
She's got me seeing double,
Hot little spark in a gasoline town,
She turns my whole world upside down.

Chrome, curves and laughter,
She's the trouble I'm chasing after,
I got a fast car and a foolish grin,
She looks at me and I lose again.

[Outro – guitar riff, engine revving]

She took my keys,
She took my heart,
She took my car…

Well, that's where I draw the line!

[Final guitar hit]
