Chevette Lyrics
as my dad drove up the driveway.
More than proud to have a brand
new family car.
Thirty miles to the gallon, 0 to 60,
sometimes.
I remember putting down the back
seat and lying in the hatchback.
Looking at the sky watching
trees go by.
I was the son of a preacher, and
he was a rich poor man.
No FM,
And no regrets,
in my Chevette.
we tried to dodge the potholes.
He never promised us it would be a
gentle ride.
He never had a problem though,
keeping it on the narrow road.
Explains of how rich this poor man really was and how it was how he lived it that mattered but not what he had.
After me and my friend were discussing exactly what this song meant aside form the phrase "rich poor man". Then he brought up a really good point. This song could symbolize our walk with God. No AC and no FM saying it's not always gonna be glamorous, and we hav eto give up things of the world, yet we don't regret it. Then dodging the pothole of life, and no prob keeping it on the narrow road. Just something to think about.
I agree: OH YEAH! I'm telling you, people, Proto and chibiweav have got it down.
i used to jam this song when i was younger. i was raised on Audio Adrenaline, DC Talk, and Newsboys.
he's poor in the ways of the world but rich in God's love!
this is about how the Chirstian walk might not be the most glamorous. there might be some bumps along the way and we see our friends doing stuff that seems cooler (like having AC in their cars) but its on the straight and narrow and thats waht matters.
