What Car Songtext / Lyric

My daddy had a 68 Camero

When I was sixteen he went out of town

There were car keys sitting on the bureau

Screaming out come take a drive around

From here to Linda's all the lights were yellow

Even though she said we were through

When she saw me in that red Camero

All she said was let's see what she'll do






What Car, what girl, what tree, what curb

What are you talking about

I never left the house

What keys, what crash, how dare you ask

The car is gone - move on

(Daddy you'd better move on)



Monday morning he was in the kitchen

Asking if I had a tale to tell

A certain red collectible was missing

Sorry daddy that doesn't ring a bell

I was running late but I agreed to join him

At the scene of the alleged theft

But there's an emptiness you can't ignore

Where the stain of oil is all that you have left



Even if they found the wreckage

Even if they haul me in

I'm sticking to the same old story

Again and again and again and again
