Verse I:
I was Gthinking Dback
To the Cfirst time we Gmet
Over Gplangent Dchords
In a G/Bsad vigneCtte
You were Gwaving goodDbye
In a Ccherry red Gcorvette
And your Emlips were Dtoo C
Cherry Gred that Dis,
with the Csky so Gblue
It was Emalmost Dmean
and your G/Beyes were Ctoo
So Gblue that Dis,
now CI am Gtoo
And my Emheart burns Dcherry Cred for you
Chorus:
Now my Gheart burns Emcherry Cred for Gyou
Like a Emfire of Dbeech wood, the Csaw don't Glike it
But you Emget some Dcut, one Cmatch will Gstrike it
And the Emembers Dglow till the Cwee small hours
When the Emold seems Dalmost Cnew
That's when my Amheart burns G/Bcherry Cred for you
Verse II:
It was cherry red with custom flames
At the hot rod show when the Kingsmen came
And that bass guitar, it rattled my frame
And it shook you too
The corvette was Big Daddy Roth's design
Get your picture for a dollar
And have it signed
First you got yours then I got mine
And my heart burned cherry red for you
Chorus:
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of beech wood, the saw don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
That's when my heart
Burns cherry red
My heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns
Cherry red for you
Verse III:
Now that fake blue sky,
It sure looks real
Like you were goin'
To California to make a deal
With the God of youth,
With the man of steel
Waving toodle-oo
Now if I was young,
I might track you down
But this old picture is all I found
Now my bones are shakin',
My teeth are ground down
And my heart burns cherry red for you
Chorus III:
Now my heart burns cherry red for you
Like a fire of beech wood, the sun don't like it
But you get some cut, one match will strike it
And the embers glow till the wee small hours
When the old seems almost new
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red
That's when my heart burns cherry red for you
