The song's title is a reference to a nameless, black Labrador retriever that wandered around the Headley Grange studios during recording.[3][4] The dog is unrelated to the song's lyrics (although the line "Eyes that shine burning red" is reminiscent of the Black dog legend), which are about desperate desire for a woman's love and the happiness it provides.

The song describes a future in which many classes of vehicles have been prohibited by "the Motor Law". The narrator's uncle has kept one of these illegal vehicles (the titular red barchetta sportscar) in pristine condition for some "fifty-odd years" and keeps it hidden at his secret country home (previously a farm before the enactment of the aforementioned Motor Law). Every Sunday, the narrator sneaks out to this location and goes for a drive in the countryside. During one such drive, he encounters a "gleaming alloy air car" that begins to chase him along the roads. A second such vehicle soon joins the pursuit, which continues until the narrator drives across a one-lane bridge that is too narrow for the air cars. The song ends with the narrator returning safely to his uncle's farm.
