My first car was a cool 72 Chevy Nova
2-door with rally wheels
Burnt Orange and black interior
350 V-8, automatic, 4-barrel carb.

More car than a teenager needed.
Fast, not as fast as some, but whoa
She was dubbed Tequila Sunrise
A tropical sunrise adorned her trunk.

8-track player? Check
CB Radio? Check
Custom afghan in the back seat? Check
Custom pillows, too? Chack

In those days, 
Cars had more horsepower
Than the average guy needed
How I survived those years is a mystery
