Steve McQueen Songtext
von Drive‐By Truckers

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone mother scratcher on the silver screen

I′d drive real fast everywhere no one would ever catch me
And I'd kick your ass if you pissed me off
So, be careful what you ask me
And I′d never have an empty bottle or an empty bed
And as cool as Paul Newman is, I bet Steve could whooped his head

It's Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone mother scratcher on the silver screen

Now, Bullet was my favorite movie that I'd ever seen
I totaled my go kart trying to imitate that chase scene
That Mustang had six hubcaps, know what I mean?
And I love the way they all flew off when it landed in that ravine


Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone motherscratcher on the silver screen

Hit it, Johnny

And I really loved the getaway back when I was eight
That pussy Alec Baldwin sucked in the remake
And speaking of pussy, I guess Steve got it all
He fucked Faye Dunaway and he fucked Ali McGraw

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen

I went to see "The Hunter" on my first date
The Hunter was the last movie Steve McQueen lived to make
They took my drivers license when I was just 16
The year mesothelioma killed Steve McQueen

Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen


The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen
The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen
The coolest goddamn mothefucker on the silver screen
Steve McQueen
