Champagne Corolla is the first song on Earle’s Kids in the Street and the first single that has been released from the album.
It’s a song about a champagne colored Toyota Corolla.
White version of the Corolla Earle is singing about
Justin explained in an interview with Noisy why he wrote the song...
[Verse 1]
Hair up high and seat reared back
Looked like she should be driving something long and black
All I’m asking you
Brother do you know her?
Pretty little thing riding by in a champagne Corolla
[Verse 2]
I've seen you around just here just last night
Today she been by two or three times
Ain’t you listening to me
Lord I done told you
Pretty little thing riding by in a champagne Corolla
[Verse 3]
I asked the boys on the corner
Did they know how many them things you think is out on the road
The one I mean
I say if you seen her you know her
Pretty little thing riding by in a champagne Corolla
[Verse 4]
I don’t care what no man say
She can run all week on just one tank
Goes to show you
Maybe baby got a head on her shoulders
And she sure looks sweet driving by in that champagne Corolla
[Verse 5]
I know every man think that he need some high tone woman
Something built for speed
But you can't trust a rich girl
No farther than you can throw her
Need a middle class queen riding by in a champagne Corolla
[Verse 6]

Don’t mean one damn thing to me
Just get me something that will get me where I’m going
Like that pretty little thing riding by in a champagne Corolla
[Verse 7]
So help me
I’d jump on the side if she would have me
All she got to do is give a little tap on the shoulder
And I’d ride away with the girl in the champagne Corolla
And I’d ride away with the girl in the champagne Corolla

I had a teacher when I was in 2nd grade who had a Champagne color Corolla that stuck in my head. I remember asking/telling her that her car is pink and she said No, it’s champagne.’ That stuck with me years later for some reason, probably one of the only things that stuck with me from her class.
