[Verse 1] Fat Albert rolled down that gravel road Jet black shine like a rebel's ode Three on the tree and a bench seat wide It held my dreams My pride My ride [Chorus] Oh Fat Albert My first love My friend You carried my heart ‘round every bend On your tailgate Under stars so bright I kissed my forever that sweet summer night [Verse 2] Sixteen summers The world was new You roared like thunder We both flew Rust never touched you You stayed strong In your cab The radio played our song [Prechorus] And when she smiled I swear you knew The way your engine purred It was her too [Chorus] Oh Fat Albert My first love My friend You carried my heart ‘round every bend On your tailgate Under stars so bright I kissed my forever that sweet summer night [Bridge] Now you sit in the barn Dust on your face But your spirit's alive in every trace Of those years when life was a winding lane And love was a spark we couldn’t contain
