Hudson Commodore

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the time between the glory days and the golden years She did the work of twenty able men Sent Tommy off to school to be an engineer And Sarah went to try out all her sins She took to takin' tea out in the Belvedere Bourbon in the evenings by the fire As if The Great Depression never made it here As if she had defeated her desire [Chorus] She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135 She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore No need to worry anymore [Verse 2] A doctor, then a lawyer, then a Roosevelt Tried to take her underneath the wing When she was in her twenties in the Bible Belt Before she knew she didn't need a thing She didn't need their pity on a single girl She didn't need their help to raise the brood She wouldn't be returning to her daddy's world She didn't want a better attitude [Chorus] She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135 She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore No need to worry anymore [Outro] She just wanted to ride in a Delahaye 135 She just wanted to ride in a Hudson Commodore No need to worry anymore
