Alright, I dedicate this to our good friends in Hayride
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
I'd never have an empty bottle or an empty bed
And as cool as Paul Newman is, old Steve could whup his head
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
Bullet was my favorite movie I'd ever seen
I totaled my go-cart trying to imitate that chase scene
Charger had six hubcaps, and know what I mean
And I love the way they all flew off when it landed in that ravine
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 really loved The Getaway back when I was eight
That pussy Alec Baldwin sucked in the remake
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, yee-haw
I went to see The Hunter on my first date
The Hunter was the last movie Steve McQueen lived to make
And they took my drivers license when I was just 16
The year mesothelioma killed Steve McQueen
I was cutting a rug down at a place called The Jug
With a girl named Linda Lou
When in walked a man with a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who
He said, "Hey there, fellow, with the hair colored yellow
Whatcha tryin' to prove?
'Cause that's my woman there and I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you"
I said, "Excuse me?"
I was scared and fearing for my life
I was shaking like a leaf on a tree
'Cause he was lean and mean and big and bad
Pointin' that gun at me
I said, "Wait a minute, mister, I didn't even kiss her
Don't want no trouble with you
I know you don't know me, but I wish you'd let me
Ask one favor from you"
Oh, won't you gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
Gimme three steps towards the door?
Gimme three steps, gimme three steps, mister
And you'll never see me no more
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
When I was a little boy I wanted to grow up to be
Steve McQueen, Steve McQueen
The coolest doggone motherfucker on the silver screen
The coolest doggone motherfucker on the silver screen
The coolest doggone motherfucker on the silver screen
The coolest doggone motherfucker on the silver screen
Steve McQueen
