That Old Car When I was two months shy of birthday number six My new baby brother appeared No one had the time to play I felt like I was in the way So I ran away to the back seat of Dad's Chevrolet If I could just get that old car started I could drive until the heartache disappeared Just me and Raggedy Ann And a kitten we called Sam Mom and Dad would miss us when we'd parted If I could just that old car started That Fairlane parked in our backyard Would be mine come graduation in June When Mom complained I didn't pull my weight And Dad didn't like the boys I'd date The window facing that Ford was my favorite view If I could just get that old car started I could drive until the heartache disappeared I knew a winding country road That could lighten any load Behind the wheel I wouldn't feel so brokenhearted If I could just that old car started With the radio on and the wind in my hair I could drive away my cares I do the best that I can now Two kids, too many bills, too little time Got a Chrysler filled with rust and rot My mechanic says the rings are shot But this prayer's been my saving grace since I was a child If I could just get that old car started I could drive until the heartache disappeared When I'm feeling so unsure The highway holds the cure When I get back I'll face the world stronghearted If I could just that old car started C.Asher/D.Lindgren ©1999 Crazy Wisdom Music(SESAC) |
