Blue Chevette

I used to drive so careful on the open road Check my mirrors and blind spots as I go You sitting safely in the passenger seat I wanted that trip to last as long as long could be At every stop I'd fill the tank Check the oil Gauge the tires Top the coolant Ask the map where we're going And where were we going But I don't drive so careful anymore I don't check my rearview mirror like before I'm so afraid, I'll look to find The life I've left behind Driving down the line Reaching out to touch you Was so easy in that 82 Chevette powder blue, you bet Love the feeling of your finger tips Resting on my arm as I shifted thru them happy years And I never ground them gears We'd sing to the radio blaring over the engines roar And white wall tires and the black top road The windows down cause the air conditioner was always broke But I don't drive so careful anymore I don't check my rearview mirror like before I'm so afraid, I'll look to find The life I've left behind Driving down the line I don't quite remember I don't quite know When the road got rough And traffic slowed Yellow signs and orange cones You looking out your side window You turned to me and said baby I love you so Your fingers pulled the latch on the door And I silently watched you go With my both hands on the wheel But I don't drive so careful anymore I don't check my rearview mirror like before So afraid, I'll look to find The life I've left behind Driving down the line Driving down the line Driving down the line
