about

‘In My Automobile’ was inspired by my ‘76 2002 black BMW, a fantastic car that I loved. Guys can love cars, and guitars, and surfboards, and boats and …

In the solo section Michael Ruff gives a perfect example of why I love the dude's spontaneous combustion playing. Also the groove between drummer Rick and bassist Cliff is rock soild here providing a nice launching pad for the other players to shine. Singing to tracks like this is simply pure joy.

The Island producer Stephen Barncard filmed a music video of this song back in 1989 and recently edited and released it.

lyrics

IN MY AUTOMOBILE

words & music - Allan Thomas


Black On Black Chrome And Steel

European Suspension And Mag Wheels

Corners Like A Dream Power To Spare

Come On Baby Cakes We're Gonna Drive Somewhere

Let's Take A Ride Tonight In My Automobile

How 'Bout A Ride Tonight
I've Got To Show You How It Feels

Pop Top, Four Speed Sit Closer To Me

Listen To The Sound On My CD

Music, Stars, Moon Up Above

I Know A Secret Place

Where We Can Stop And Make Love

Let's Take A Ride Tonight In My Automobile

A Ride Tonight I've Got To Show You How It Feels

Bought Insurance And A Paint Job

Living Way Beyond My Means

Workin' Two Jobs To Keep
 The Ultimate Driving Machine
Pistons Pumping, Engine Whine

I'm In Auto Buff Heaven
 When The Road Is All Mine

Let's Take A Ride Tonight In My Automobile

Come On Baby I Really Must Show You How It Feels

She's A Halogen Headed Dragon Two Thousand CC

I'm Accelerating Better Hold On To Me

Lambskin And Leather The Seats Slide Way Down

Bet We Could Find An Angle That's Never Been Found

Let's Take A Ride Tonight In My Automobile

A Ride Tonight I Wanna Show You How It Feels
Let's Take A Ride Tonight In My Automobile

You Gonna Love How It Feels In My Automobile
