lyrics

forty-hour week in this factory, I ask her if she'll go out with me
she says she's staying home with her dad to work on a car that her grandpa had
now I'd been watching her through the glass, it took a lot of courage for me to ask
she says please don't take it so personal, just got a lot of work to do to get this car on the road

she's got heart, she's got soul, she's got wheels

two weeks later, imagine my surprise, guess who should pull up and offer me a ride
how many horses under your hood, and other car talk, I think I'm doin' good
she drives to Ray's Wreck Yard, been lookin' really hard to find the right hood hero for the car, man, she screams when she finds that thing, says, you must be my lucky charm

for a factory girl on production line she really breaks the mold, me from a line of average Joe's, but I'm determined to crack the code

I ask about riding to inspiration point, she stops me while I'm trying to roll a joint, anyone riding shotgun seat better respect the ride and better respect me, before we take another corner, I probably should warn ya, there's somebody that you're gonna have to meet, I promised my brother 'bout a thousand times, he'd get final approval of any friends of mine

so we stop at a store, tres cervezas to go, two for us and one for my bro,
I follow her out somewhere, lost in our day, when suddenly we're at the foot of a grave, she says, hey Manuel, someone you need to meet, someone who wants to go out with me, tears well up in her brown eyes, I stand there stunned and just let her cry
he was my living hero, my best friend, inseparable until he went to war, next in line for mi abuelo's ride, that's why his name is painted on the driver's side, I put my hand on her back, I'm sorry for you loss, she pours half a 40 on a thirsty cross, back to the car she takes my hand, says her brother approves, and you can, you can take me out to dance if I can take you to church,
well it's a deal if I can kiss you first

she's got heart, she's got soul, under the weight of the world, no ordinary girl, she's got heart, she's got soul, she's got wheels
