*Big Band-Come on Rose Lets Take Gertie For a Drive (v3.3)

(Verse 1) Come on Rose, let’s take Gertie for a drive. When I’m behind the wheel, I’m so alive. Through the pines and the hills, the sun shining bright. Here in Sonora, a curvy road feels just right. (Chorus) Oh the gears might chatter and the tires might squeal. But there’s nothing quite like that Model A feel. From Jamestown to Twain Hart, we’ll laugh and we’ll ride. Come on Rose, let’s take Gertie for a drive. (Verse 2) Let’s cruise past the barns and see the creeks rolling by. With a thermos of coffee and blue in the sky. Gertie hums like a tune from a simpler time. With Rose beside me, the pleasure is all mine. (Chours ) Oh the gears might chatter and the tires might squeal. But there’s nothing quite like that Model A feel. From Sonora to Visalia, we’ll laugh and we’ll ride. Come on Rose, let’s take Gertie for a drive. (Verse 3) On a Roundup in Carson City, we did stay. With Rose driving over highway 88 all the way Around curves and over mountains, she did drive. We lost the front spindle and we’re lucky to be alive. (Chours ) Oh the gears might chatter and the tires might squeal. But there’s nothing quite like that Model A feel. From Sonora to Carson City, we’ll laugh and we’ll ride.
