Know a song that mentions a Ford vehicle in the lyrics? Post up the details here so we can all share our love for all things Ford!
Here's three that I can recall..... Precious and Grace - ZZ Top Good God Almighty, we was goin' down slow, Yeah, if we knew just where we had to go. Cryin', just a flyin' down a put out road With Precious and Grace in my flathead Ford. I'm Bad, I'm Nationwide - ZZ Top Well I was movin' down the road in my V-8 Ford, I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered. With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed, Nobody give me trouble cause they know I got it made. I'm bad, I'm nationwide. Girl I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide. Talk Dirty To Me - Poison At the drive in In the old man's Ford Behind the bushes Til I'm screamin' for more Down in the basement Lock the cellar door And baby Talk dirty to me!

Fall of Rome - James Reyne
Every morning when I wake from my bed I find I'm yawning just a'scratchin' my head I face the dawning and I feel like I'm dead I been sleeping all alone Well every daybreak as I wake from my sleep I find I'm aching as I drag from the deep If I were a Mustang I'd be a junk yard heap Mirror don't lie mirror don't lie Talk about a rolling stone... Take It Easy - Eagles Well I'm a-runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me .... Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona Such a fine sight to see It's a girl, my Lord, in a flat-bed Ford Slowin' down to take a look at me Come on, baby, don't say maybe... .

As I was motorvatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a Coupe de Ville A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford The Cadillac doin' about ninety-five She's bumper to bumper, rollin' side by side Maybellene, why can't you be true? Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true? You done started back doin' the things you used to do The Cadillac pulled up to a hundred and four The Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more It then got cloudy and started to rain I tooted my horn for the passin' lane The rainwater blowin' all under my hood I know that I was doin' my motor good

Doesn't actually mention Ford but:
Well I'm not braggin' babe so don't put me down But I've got the fastest set of wheels in town When something comes up to me he don't even try Cause if I had a set of wings man I know she could fly She's my little deuce coupe You don't know what I got (My little deuce coupe) (You don't know what I got) Just a little deuce coupe with a flat head mill But she'll walk a Thunderbird like (she's) it's standin' still She's ported and relieved and she's stroked and bored. She'll do a hundred and forty with the top end floored She's my little deuce coupe You don't know what I got (My little deuce coupe) (You don't know what I got) She's got a competition clutch with the four on the floor And she purrs like a kitten till the lake pipes roar And if that ain't enough to make you flip your lid There's one more thing, I got the pink slip daddy And comin' off the line when the light turns green Well she blows 'em outta the water like you never seen I get pushed out of shape and it's hard to steer When I get rubber in all four gears

That's cool...I've never heard The Ford Song before....Other than commercials I didn't know that there were a good number of songs with Ford mentioned as this thread definitely shows...Brilliant.. This one doesn't mention Ford outright either but the lyrics hit the mark for me..lots of them could sum up the 56 years of the bird we all know so well..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwZYw35JkJY .... The bloke that put this together did it as a tribute to Ford Falcon after the news of the factory closure was announced in 2013... Every so often I'll play it on my IPod in one of my two Falcons...Cheers Rod... |

Poison - Talk dirty to me:
At the drive in In the old man's Ford Behind the bushes Til I'm screamin' for more Down in the basement Lock the cellar door And baby Talk dirty to me! But my personal favourite is American Pie by Don McLean: I started singing bye, bye, Miss American Pie Drove my FORD to the levee but the levee was dry Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey 'n rye Singin' this'll be the day that I die This'll be the day that I die )) |

My Mustang Ford - Chuck Berry
I got a nineteen sixty-six cherry red Mustang Ford. Itæ?¯ got a three hundred and eighty five horsepower over load You know itæ?¯ way too fast to be crawlin?on these interstate roads. I broke her in at the airport on a runway at the J.F.K. I just touched the gas pedal and like to ran off into Jamaica Bay I had to spin the wheels backwards or the momentum would have carried me away Itæ?¯ getting?to be a big problem trying to figure the best possible route I tried to stop in Indianapolis once, and had to back up from Terre Haute But now I can slow and stop her with my windbreaker parachute |

Two more oldies but goodies;
Hot Rod Race Lyrics by Jimmie Dolan Now me and my wife and my brother Joe, took off in my Ford from San Pedro. We hadn't much gas 'n' the tires was low, but the doggone Ford could really go. Now along about the middle of the night, we were rippin' along like white folks might, when a Mercury behind he blinked his lights, and he honked his horn and he flew outside. We had twin pipes and a Columbia b___, you people may think that I'm in a rut, but to you folks who don't dig the jive, that's two carburetors and an overdrive. We made grease spots outta many good town, and left the cops heads spinnin' round 'n' round. They wouldn't chase, they'd run and hide, but me and that Mercury stayed side by side. Now we were Ford men and we likely knew, that we would race until somethin' blew, and we thought it over, now, wouldn't you? I looked down at my lovely bride, her face was blue, I thought she'd died. We left streaks through towns about forty feet wide, but me and that Mercury stayed side by side. My brother was pale, he said he was sick, he said he was just a nervous wreck. But why should I worry, for what the heck, me and that Mercury was still neck-and-neck. Now on through the deserts we did glide, a-flyin' low and a-flyin' wide, me an' that Mercury was a-takin' a ride, and we stayed exactly side by side. Now I looked in my mirror and I saw somethin' comin', I thought it was a plane by the way it was a-runnin'. It was a-hummin' along at a terrible pace, and I knew right then it was the end of the race. When it flew by us, I turned the other way, the guy in the Mercury had nothin' to say, for it was a kid, in a hopped up Model-A. Yeah Just A Model A.

And the follow-up
Hot Rod Lincoln by George Frayne My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln." Have you heard this story of the Hot Rod Race When Fords and Lincolns was settin' the pace. That story is true, I'm here to say I was drivin' that Model A. It's got a Lincoln motor and it's really souped up. That Model A Vitimix makes it look like a pup. It's got eight cylinders; uses them all. It's got overdrive, just won't stall. With a 4-barrel carb and a dual exhaust, With 4.11 gears you can really get lost. It's got safety tubes, but I ain't scared. The brakes are good, tires fair. Pulled out of San Pedro late one night The moon and the stars was shinin' bright. We was drivin' up Grapevine Hill Passing cars like they was standing still. All of a sudden in a wink of an eye A Cadillac sedan passed us by. I said, "Boys, that's a mark for me!" By then the taillight was all you could see. Now the fellas was ribbin' me for bein' behind, So I thought I'd make the Lincoln unwind. Took my foot off the gas and man alive, I shoved it on down into overdrive. Wound it up to a hundred-and-ten My speedometer said that I hit top end. My foot was blue, like lead to the floor. That's all there is and there ain't no more. Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense And telephone poles looked like a picket fence. They said, "Slow down! I see spots! The lines on the road just look like dots." Took a corner; sideswiped a truck, Crossed my fingers just for luck. My fenders was clickin' the guardrail posts. The guy beside me was white as a ghost. Smoke was comin' from out of the back When I started to gain on that Cadillac. Knew I could catch him, I thought I could pass. Don't you know by then we'd be low on gas? We had flames comin' from out of the side. Feel the tension. Man! What a ride! I said, "Look out, boys, I've got a license to fly!" And that Caddy pulled over and let us by. Now all of a sudden she started to knockin', And down in the dips she started to rockin'. I looked in my mirror; a red light was blinkin' The cops was after my Hot Rod Lincoln! They arrested me and they put me in jail. And called my pappy to throw my bail. And he said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin' If you don't stop drivin' that hot rod Lincoln!"

Another T-bird one
"Fun Fun Fun" - Beach Boys Well she got her daddy's car And she's cruisin' through the hamburger stand now Seems she forgot all about the library Like she told her old man now And with the radio blasting Goes cruising just as fast as she can now And she'll have fun fun fun 'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away (Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away) "I Ain't In Checotah Anymore" - Carrie Underwood Where 69 meets 40, There's a single stop light town, And back when I was really young, A part of that burned down, On any given Friday night, We'd drive a hundred miles, Between the Sonic and the Grocery Store, Laughing all the while, With as many friends as I could pack, In my daddy's Ford, But I ain't in Checotah anymore. "One Step Up" - Bruce Springsteen Woke up this morning my house was cold Checked out the furnace she wasn't burnin' Went out and hoped in my old Ford Hit the engine but she ain't turnin' We've given each other some hard lessons lately But we ain't learnin' We're the same sad story that's a fact And this one "Lord, Mr. Ford" - Jerry Reed Well if you're one of the millions who own one of them Gas drinkin' piston clinkin' air pollutin' smoke belchin' Four wheeled buggies from Detroit City then pay attention I'm about to sing your song son Well now I'm not a man to point or judge To bear ill-will or hold a grudge But I think it's time I said me a few choice words All about that demon the automobile The metal monster with the polyglass wheels The end result of a dream of Henry Ford Well now I've got a car that's mine alone That me and the finance company own A ready made pile of manufactured grief And if I ain't out of gas in the pourin' rain I'm changin' a flat in a hurricane I once spent three days lost on a cloverleaf Well it ain't just the smoke in a traffic jam That makes me the bitter fool I am But that four-wheeled buggy is dollarin' me to death For gas and oil and fluids and grease And wires and tires and antifreeze And then them accessories well honey that's somethin' else Well you can get stereo tape and a color TV Get a backseat bar and reclinin' seats And just pay once a month like you do your rent Well I figured it up and over a period of time This four thousand dollar car of mine Cost fourteen thousand dollars and ninety-nine cents Well now Lord Mr Ford I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well it seems your contribution to man To say the least got a little out of hand Well Lord Mr Ford what have you done Now the average American father and mother Own one whole car and half another And I'll bet that half a car is a trick to drive don't you But the thing that amazes me I guess Is the way we measure a man's success By the kind of an automobile he can afford to buy Well now it's red light green light traffic cop Right turn no turn must turn stop Get out the credit card honey we're out of gas Well now all the cars placed end to end Would reach to the moon and back again And there'd probably be some poor fool pull out to pass Well now how I yearn for the good ol' days Without that carbon dioxide haze A hangin' over the roar on the interstate Well if the Lord that made the moon and stars Would've meant for me and you to have cars He'd've seen that we was born with a parkin' space Lord Mr Ford I just wish that you could see What your simple horseless carriage has become Well it seems your contribution to man To say the least got a little out of hand Well Lord Mr Ford what have you done Come away with me Lucille In my smokin' chokin' automobile One step up and two steps back |

The truck got stuck - Corb Lund
The Chev got stuck and the Ford got stuck But the Chev unstuck when the Dodge showed up But the Dodge got stuck in the tractor rut, Which eventually pulled out the Ford With some difficulty... He does a version with Ramblin' Jack that talks about Jack's early fords and is good for a chuckle.

Reverend Horton Heat
Texas Rockabilly Rebel It goes real fast But it sure feels good, It goes real fast But it sure feels good, It goes real fast But it sure feels good, It feels good. Born a bastard child, Nobody knows who's son, On the old Chisholm Trail, And he continues to run. She's a 32 Ford, Chopped five window Coup, Chevrolet mill really, Really stirs the soup. Turn up the bass! Turn up the treble! Texas rock-a-billy rebel. Turn up the bass! Turn up the treble! Texas rock-a-billy rebel. It goes real fast But it sure feels good, It goes real fast But it sure feels good, It goes real fast But it sure feels good, Read more: Reverend Horton Heat - Texas Rock-A-Billy Rebel Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Rory Gallagher :- "Souped-Up Ford ".... Last Verse.
You know what it takes to try to catch up to my souped up FORD. Well, make no mistake by applying the brakes, When i say "All Aboard". Well, you can roll up the sidewalk and end all the small talk, When i shift them gears. 'Cos i won't be back till i head down the track a 1000 miles from here. |

alternative version of "along the road to gundagai" 1922 , by jack O'hagan
There's an old fashioned Ford Made of rubber, tin and board Along the road to Gundagai Well the radiator's hissing And half the engine's missing The fuel tank's running dry There's water in the petrol And sand in the gears And it hasn't seen a garage For more than forty years Oh gosh hear it roar When the pedal hits the floor Along the road to Gundagai Oh gosh hear it roar When the pedal hits the floor Along the road - to - Gun-da-gai |
