American Cars

Lyrics

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] I was workin' on a plan to disappear completely Gaslightin' my friends into thinkin' I was busy'Cause if drinkin' was a day job, I'd be askin' for more moneyHell, I never take a day off, and I'm always sellin' somethin' [Pre-Chorus] Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day But you're here and we're so grateful you are [Chorus] 'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up 'Cause, honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask [Verse 2] And I hate to drag you back here, but I think he's really lost it He's been sittin' on the porch, oh, ranting like a prophet And I can't stand the nights, yeah, that dinner time silence I cut the tension with a knife, and I pray you started drivin' [Pre-Chorus] Headlights, your plates, 4CB3A Didn't know you drove American cars Ray-Bans on your face, you've been drivin' all day But you're home and I'm so grateful you are [Chorus] 'Cause you're gonna fix it, you're gonna patch it up Honey, we're fragile, you've always been so tough You know that I missed you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask [Bridge] Make him talk, make it stop, all I want is a dialogue Oh, we're drownin' here, I've gotta stay for Mom Make the house a home, you know how to talk Well, you did back then, we would talk so much And it's fine we don't, but can you come home? [Chorus] 'Cause you gotta fix this, you gotta patch it up 'Cause, baby, we're fragile, you always were so tough You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask [Outro] You know that I miss you, you always come runnin' back Whenever I ask, whenever I ask Oh, whenever I ask Whenever I ask, whenever I ask
