I was riding around
I was cutting the town
In my daddy's old Oldsmobile
It's a faded out red
The motor's half dead
Ain't no hubcaps on the wheels
Well I was being laughed at by all my friends from school
All the young girls were looking away
That's when I made up my mind
I had to get my own ride and I saw it coming home that day
A Purple GTO
Purple GTO
Yeah its the only car for me
I wanna hear my daddy say
He'll help me find a way
To get into the drivers seat
Took my daddy back with me
the very next day and it looked better than it did before
It was jagged up in back
It had Cragar Chrome Mags
And a Hershefter on the floor
We rang the front door bell and we talked to that man
About the car I had my heart set on
And I could see in daddy's eyes
when he asked him the price
I wasn't gonna drive it home
That Purple GTO
Purple GTO
Yeah its the only car for me
I wanna hear my daddy say
He'll help me find a way
To get into the drivers seat
Cause this old Oldsmobile
Is on its last leg
I gotta find another way to go
I want all the girls to see
That its really me
In a Purple GTO
Yeah Baby!
So a week went by
Then a month or two
And that car was still beside the road
I said
Daddy let's go by
And see if we can try
To talk him into letting it go
So they tickered for a while
And I saw that man smile
It was an offer that he couldn't refuse.
And now I'm driving every day
Down to the picked pave
Trying to sell some more
Ladies some shoes
In that GTO
That Purple GTO
Yeah its the only car for me
And though my daddy wouldn't pay
He helped me find a way
To get into the drivers seat
So if you see coming in your rear view mirror
Then you'd better not be going to slow
I ain't got time for crusin' if I'm late I might losing
This little Purple GTO
I ain't got time for crusin' if I'm late I might losing
This little Purple GTO
Purple GTO
A Purple GTO
A Purple GTO
(Go crawl in the back)
A Purple GTO

A Purple GTO
(man I'm styling)
In a GTO
