Power Windows

About Power Windows

"Power Windows" is a song written and recorded by singer Billy Falcon for his 1991 major label debut album Pretty Blue World. The song's lyrics discuss two characters, Charlie and Louis. Charlie has material wealth, e.g. "power windows" and "power brakes," but lacks "the power of love" and is therefore unhappy. The opposite is true of Louis, who's "got no power windows" but does have "the power of love" and is happy for it. The general message is that love is more important than material wealth. The song was Falcon's only hit to date on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #35 on the chart. In 1999, John Berry covered the song on his album Wildest Dreams. His cover of the song peaked at #43 on the Hot Country Songs charts. In 2002, Australian artist Darren Coggan covered the song on his album Balancing Act. more »

Charlie drives a brand new Mercedes Benz.
He's got another one just like it, just like all his friends.
His wife is playing tennis and his kids are off at school. 
He drives home to his empty house, sits by his empty swimmin' pool.

But he's got power windows. 
He's got power brakes. 
He's got a power bed; push a button and it shakes.
He's got no one to talk to, tears rollin' down his face...
He ain't got the power... the power of love.

Lewis drives a beat up '69 Dodge. 
Swears it's a statue of Mary keeps his car from fallin' apart.
Gracie right beside him sittin' closer than a smile. 
She's got her head on his shoulder. 
Oh how he loves to drive and hold her.

He's got no power windows. 
Got no power breaks. 
He ain't got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes.
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face....
He's got the power...the power of love.

No air conditioning no cellular telephone. 
He goes rumblin' down the highway, listenin' to his AM radio.
One arm out the window and a smile upon his face...
Makes you wonder how he got there, 'till you see him look at Grace. (see him look at Grace)

He's got the power (ain't that the power of love)
He's got the power (aint that the power of love)

He's got no power windows. 
Got no power brakes. 
He aint got no power nothin' but he's got what it takes......
He's got Gracie's arm around him and a smile upon his face...
He's got the power.......of love.

Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
Power of love (ain't that the power of love)
