The Car

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

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

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

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

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"

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

There will always be a part of us

Together in that car
