Lyrics
With a Rebel by our side, and a spirit that won't hide
We're taking the less beaten path, with American Motors as our guide
[Verse]
The Big Three laughed and pointed, said "Those cars won't last a mile"
But the Classic and the Marlin, they were made with style
They might not have won at drag strips or at flashy car shows
But in the hearts of the people, their quirky charm just grows
But the Pacer was wider, a fishbowl in view
Stuck out in traffic like a thumb painted blue
[Pre-Chorus]
Nash and Hudson, they merged in a dance
Throwin' out Hornets to sweeten the chance
[Chorus]
With a Gremlin in the lineup, and a smile so wry
We're buckin' the trend, under the big blue sky
[Verse]
Now let me tell you a tale, it's a hoot and a roar
About American Motors and their cars galore
Their engines would rumble, but their sales they sure sank
Yet they laughed and they joked all the way to the bank
[Chorus]
With a Rambler in the driveway, and a grin on my lips
I'm cruisin' down the highway, givin' Chevy the slips
[Verse 2]
Some called it folly, those AMCs in line
But to me they're a story of a grit so fine
A rebel, a javelin, thrown into the game
Their spirit undying, they rolled just the same
[Chorus]
Pack up the Matador, we're in for a trip
The Javelin by our side, we're equipped for the flip
[Verse 3]
When the gas crisis hit, oh the bigwigs did frown
But AMC laughed and brought the Pacer to town
A bubble on wheels, but we all wanted to steer
A fishbowl that rolled, and sparked plenty of cheers
[Bridge]
From Kenosha to glory, these machines found their tales
In a market of giants, they were setting their sails
They were quirky and funky, the Spirit and the Eagle
Heading down the road, not a care for the regal
[Pre-Chorus]
They didn't want muscle, just a car that could last
So they dropped in the AMX, and boy, it was a blast
[Chorus]
With an Eagle in the mountains, flyin' high above the rest
American Motors, you know they did their best
