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
