about

My big brother has the nick name of "Bones". We drag raced together with his 7 Second Nostalgia Dragster called "Bad to the Bone"and over the years I found myself calling him "The Bone Man". Some how I got inspired to change the lyrics to the great soul R&B tune by Sam and Dave entitled "Soul Man" also made famous by the Blues Brothers. My Brother Jerry "Bones" Gaboury has had hot cars all his life and his first was a Hot Rod 1955 Chevy which is now back in the family and running' hot! This car has become some what famous as "Jerry" or "Bones" tore up the streets of St. Paul Minnesota in the late 1950's early 1960's with this car as well as winning many drag race trophies at Twin City Speedway. He sold it in 1962 and it was gone forever ......we thought.
The car miraculously made it back to our family in 2008 untouched. It is a real survivor of an era gone by and now making new memories. I hope you enjoy my song. IT'S ABOUT MY BROTHER AND HIS 1955 CHEVY,

"The Bone Man"

PS at the end of the song you can actually hear the "55" going through the gears.

lyrics

COMMIN TO YA, ON THE BLACK TOP
TIRES SMOKIN AND A BIG BLOCK
WHO IS IT? YOU MIGHT ASK
THEY CALL HIM THE STOMPER AND HE'S HAULIN ASS!

HE'S THE BONE MAN, BONE MAN,
BONE MAN, BONE MAN

HE WAS BROUGHT UP ON THE EAST SIDE
HIS FIRST CAR WAS A "55"
SLAMIN GEARS, YA HE CAN DRIVE?
WHO'S IN THAT YELLOW 55?

HE'S THE BONE MAN, BONE MAN,
BONE MAN, BONE MAN

IF YOU SEE HIM, CRUISIN' DOWN THE STREET
BETTER PULL OVER OR YOU'LL GET BEAT
IF YOU'RE AT THE TRACK AND YOU WANNA TRY HIM
YOU BETTER WATCH IT, THE STOMP'S A FLYIN!

HE'S THE BONE MAN, BONE MAN,
BONE MAN, BONE MAN

GRAB A GEAR, HE'LL PULL YOU IN, GIVE YA HOPE,
AND THEN HE'LL BLOW YOUR DOORS OFF!

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH

HE'S THE BONE MAN, BONE MAN,
BONE MAN, BONE MAN

BAD TO THE BONE!
