Discover the story of the song > 455 Rocket – Kathy Mattea

The protagonist bought a car with a big engine that was advertised as leaking and sounding like an airplane, but she knew it was a hidden gem. She loved racing it and beating other cars, especially Chevrolets. She was devastated when she crashed it and had to see it get towed away. The car was a 455 rocket, meant for speed and power.
