Challenger - Walter Egan, Jackson Browne

It was a Sunday night I never will forget

Driving down the street in my red Camaro

As I pulled into the 7-Eleven

The locals eyed a stranger

That they did not know

Challenger, he’s the new contender

Challenger, and he better know

Challenger, we don’t want no trouble

From the challenger in the red Camaro

He made his move

And he made his challenge

«Anybody want to put his pink on the line?»

Behind the wheel slipped the local hero

«Ready, set, go!»

and their engines whined

The air was tense

From the screaming metal thunder

The challenger’s machine

Ate up the local hero’s

But when the dust cleared

Instead of his pink slip

I had the hero’s baby in my red Camaro

Challenger, I’m the new contender

Challenger, and you better know

Challenger, forget about your baby

Now she rides in my red Camaro
