Car Heat

We'd go away to Western Maryland and head up north to the line

Snow tires on the truck and chains it was a hell of a drive

Just some college kids from far away together for the holidays

And tryin to start they own traditions

I had beer for two weeks

And food for two days in the kitchen

He had her she had him

I had you and we had them

I ain't mad at what you did

But I sure do miss back then

Oh I miss back then

'Cause this car heat

It ain't doin' the trick

Like bourbon in my coffee

Or a kiss between our lips

It's blowing through them vents

But it doesn't feel like fire

At a Pennsylvania cabin on New Years with our friends

It ain't doin' the trick

Well we'd wake up at dawn

And we'd clear off the pond

And play boot hockey til the sun went down

And you got dressed up every night just for fun

We'd get sick from cigars 'til we threw em in the yard

You were gettin' high on a Gatorade bong

We faked angels under stars in the snowfall

And he had her she had him

I had you we had them

I ain't mad at what you did but I sure do miss back then

'Cause I was having fun

While I was getting gone

I was getting stuck and you were moving on

Now I flip the ignition and I turn that dial to red

'Cause this car heat

It ain't doin' the trick

Like bourbon in my coffee

Or a kiss between our lips

It's blowing through them vents

But it doesn't feel like fire

At a Pennsylvania cabin on New Years with our friends

I know it wasn't perfect

There's lessons I've learned

And I still get a chill

When I drive by Mercersburg

'Cause this car heat

It ain't doin' the trick

Like bourbon in my coffee

Or a kiss between our lips

It's blowing through them vents

But it doesn't feel like fire

At a Pennsylvania cabin on New Years with our friends

It ain't doin' the trick

It ain't doin the trick

Oh lord, it ain't doin' the trick

(It ain't doin the trick)

It's flowing' through them vents

But lord it ain't doin the trick

(It ain't doin the trick)

It don't feel like fire

But it's flowing through them vents

(It ain't doin the trick)

In western Maryland on New Years with our friends

It ain't doin the trick
