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 (Check this out) A Purple GTO (Man I'm styling) In a GTO Purple GTO
