Trans Am Lyrics

Lyric discussion by binghiskhan 

Cover art for Trans Am lyrics by Neil Young

Trans Am is an analogy for capitalistic "progress". Trans Am is a criticism of American "development" and placing the highest priority on financial profit. (Does Neil have a political and social commentary to make---no, it can't be?) The Trans Am could not be stopped, it just kept rolling on. Ultimatley though, the Trans Am does show wear. There is hope. The broken headlight gives us hope. Praise the headlight! Wow man.
