The Mackenzies
Lyrics
My car broke down In front of my house I was turning it over and over And an older man came runnin' out He said "Don't you do that, son You'll only make it worse ♪ I'll call my buddy Koji He can fix anything And he owes me ♪ And my just look at the time It's almost beer-thirty Ya must be thirsty Come on inside with me Join the family" ♪ Inside it seemed a place had already been laid for me ♪ We never met before Despite livin' next door See I'm the type of guy Who sees a neighbor outside And stays inside and hides I'll run that errand another time ♪ As Jack and I bonded over our love of Mel Tormé ♪ And the early movies of Kid and Play ♪ Brenda brought the drinks in on a tray And said "For dinner you must stay" It was such a comfy and cozy den And I wished that Jack would call me "son" again ♪ After dinner we talked some more Brenda stretched and quickly said "Let me show you to your bed" ♪ There were photos on the wall Of a boy maybe twenty-one or so Leanin' against a brand new Camaro ♪ I could tell by his eyes that he had died Some time ago And his room kept alive ♪ I peaked outside through the blinds At my house next door in the sun Wife in the rec room Kids'd be home from school soon I thought I'd just shut my eyes for five ♪ When I opened them again Night had come ♪ And brought two figures to the door And they said "Son, it's okay." "It's okay. Son. Son. We're okay. We're okay."
