Lyrics

“Oh, Lou, oh Lou.”
Good Ol’ Lou
Lou is no longer held down by a mind of old.
The world lost a Lou and Lou gained his heavenly wheels.

“Oh, Lou, oh Lou.”
Dear Ol’ Lou.
Lou is, was & forever will be a man of old.
Lou is out of the dark,
he’s found the light.
He is Hank Senior,
He is John Wayne,
He is Red Blooded American,
He is an Ohio Original.
He is chevelle cruisin’ & Heaven Bound.
Lou is heaven bound.
A hotrod angel looking to race on heaven street.

He is driving that perfect chevelle up on heaven street.
Dear, Lou you will never be forgotten.
Lou is smiling again.
Lou is happy again.
Lou is better than ever.
He has escaped a broken down mind.
His soul is free.

The mind is a terrible thing to lose, old Lou.
You were just a good old boy with a brain that went bad.
A Decent and good man who could think no more.
Now & forever a hotrod angel.
Lou you’re race’n your dream car up in the great beyond.

“Oh, Lou, oh Lou..”
You would say
“Damn tire kickers,”
“damn tire kickers,”
“Goddamn tire kickers!”
and with a shrug
“just a color’d feller.”

Now you are livin’ the dreams that were once stuck within.
You worked the lots most your life.
You worked long and you worked hard.
You now race your heavily ride in The bright and glorious sun kingdom.
Time to feel calm & at ease.

Oh, Lou, oh Lou…
You told me when I was new to driving to
“Not worry about the person riding your ass.
Hell with em’ break check the sum bitch.”

The big sleep has come.
You were a car man.
It was your time.
You are with your Mom and Dad again.
Dear Lou.

Now you’re a hotrod angel.
Peelin’ rubber on clouds.
In your perfect Chevelle.
You sold cars out of the mud for us.
You helped our business get out of the rough.
While in the twilight years of your life you helped us.
You gave us your best.
We are forever grateful for you. Ol, Lou.

Oh, Lou, oh Lou.
Lou Boy has gained his wings.
The years of Chevelle chasin’ are over.
So, goodbye for now Dear Lou.
