about

A song about first cars and Freedom. And 400 Horses under the hood.

lyrics

400 Horses

Grandpa bought a car when he retired from the farm
He got a part-time job in town, so he didn’t drive too far
But he always said you had to watch your speed with that machine
When that Delta 88 got handed down to me

Freedom was having my own driving machine
So what if it burned a little oil and lots of gasoline
Yeh, my first car was a rocket hiding in an Oldsmobile
400 Horses and me behind the wheel

An Oldsmobile Delta 88 four fifty five
You could smoke the tires off before you left the drive
You could run that car so fast the competition lost its nerve
Blow the door off speed was there, but best you mind the curves

Freedom was having my own driving machine
So what if it burned a little oil and lots of gasoline
Yeh, my first car was a rocket hiding in an Oldsmobile
400 Horses and me behind the wheel

Roll the windows down, feel the wind rush by
I worked hard to pay for gas … ‘Cause man I loved to drive
Man, I loved to drive

Freedom was having my own driving machine
So what if it burned a little oil and lots of gasoline
Yeh, my first car was a rocket hiding in an Oldsmobile
400 Horses and me behind the wheel

about

Reuben Brock Nashville, Tennessee

I always knew I was destined to be a traveler and a collector of stories. My songs are the music I hear in my head that seems to me to have been a part of the stories all along. For the traveler, there's always the familiar, restless pull...the long road that awaits and yet flows into the past.

The first single release from the upcoming Reuben Brock DAMAGE studio album is NAIL AND HAMMER.
