The Car

Boy, I'd love to have that car I whispered to my dad I've always heard A Mustang flies We could fix it up And make it new again All it needs Is just a little time Dad is hardly ever home Since Momma passed away He's always Workin' overtime 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 that once these days roll past us They will never come again So little time And we spend way too much apart There would always be a part of us Together in that car 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 of keys "Here's your car, son I hope it flies" 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 And we spent way too much apart And there will always be a part of us Together in that car And there will always be a part of us Together in that car
