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
