Richard Thompson MGB-GT Lyrics

I've got a car and she might go far
She's the mistress of my heart now
She's a '65 with an overdrive
I cured her in every part now
2 in the front and 2 in the back
110 on the old Hog's Back
My MGB-GT, she's a runner now
MGB-GT

Oh, I welded the sills and the old floor pan
Cut the rust with the torch and the hacksaw
Took the Rostyles off, put the spoke wheels on
Got a brand new Salisbury axle
When I come to town the girls all smile
They say, here's a man with retro-style
My MGB-GT she's a runner now
MGB-GT

Lockheed discs and twin SUs
Original chrome on the grill now
Looks llike a dream 'n racing queen
Competition's standing still now
I sprayed her body, I strengthened her frame
I stripped her right down and I built her up again

An Alpine's fine if you've got the time
And a Healey'll set you back some
TR4 cost a little bit more
But it don't have the same attraction
Hard top handy n-case of the weather
I don't care if it rains forever
In my MGB-GT she's a runner now
MGB-GT
