She’s American made, you know what I mean
Red on black, she’s a street machine
Sets ten inches off the ground with a custom plate
That says IEATZ28

Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

Yeah, ’79 will be the end of the road
If you want horse power overload
Ooh, if you like kicks, just take her to the floor
And you red-line, shift them gears, hear the engine roar on my

On my Trans Am
Come on catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland
Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

And she shines on the street, yeah
And she shines at the heat
And she shines in my baby’s eyes
And she shines on every other guy’s

Trans Am
Trans Am
Trans Am
Highway Wonderland

T-R-A-N-S A-M
Trans Am!

From Daytona Beach down to Riverside
If there’s a race, she’s qualified
And my 6.6 gets a little too heavy
For a big boss Ford or a 350 Chevy

Trans Am
Come on, catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, Highway Wonderland
Trans Am

Me and my Trans Am
Come on, catch me if you can
In my Trans Am, ooh, Highway Wonderland

Yeah
Highway Wonderland, yeah
