The Car

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Boy, I'd love to have that car I whispered to my dad I always heard a mustang flies We could fix it up, and make it new again All it needs is just a little time [Verse 2] Daddy's hardly ever home, since mama passed away He's always workin over time I know that he cannot afford to buy that car Even though, he'd love to make it mine [Chorus 1] It's not the car that I'm needin' Just the chance to be with him I know once these days roll past us They will never come again So little time, we spend way to much apart There would always be a part of us Together in that car [Verse 3] I finally let go of that dream And the time we could have shared It was a distant memory Until last fall a call came sayin' dad was gone Could I come quick, he left a note for me [Verse 4] Buried dad right next to mom up on Crowley's Ridge There I said my last goodbye I opened up the note, and found a set a keys "Here's your car son, I hope it flies" [Chorus 2] But it's not the car that you're needin' But it's my chance to be with you I hope you understand I always did The best that I could do So little time, we spent way to much apart Now there will always be a part of us Together in that car [Outro] There will always be a part of us Together in that car
